A chronic wound is a sore or break in the skin that does not heal the way it should. Most cuts and scrapes close up within a few weeks. When a wound stays open for a month or more, doctors call it chronic. Diabetic ulcers are a common type. They often form on the feet of people who have diabetes, where poor blood flow and nerve changes make healing slow and difficult.
A chronic wound may look red, swollen, or moist, and it may drain fluid or have a bad smell. Some people feel pain, while others feel very little because of nerve damage. Common causes include diabetes, poor circulation, pressure from lying or sitting in one spot for a long time, and swelling in the legs. High blood sugar, smoking, and infection can all slow healing even more.
