Why does the injury on my foot refuses to heal, though my skin will heal but that spot will still be strong, whenever I use something to scrape it, it will go back to its normal state. It has been on my leg for up 8 years, please help me out...........
Non healing injuries on foot are common in diabetics. Please get checked about your diabetic status. Apart from diabetes- venous ulcers, those due to other causes of peripheral neuropathy can also cause this. Please get evaluated for these.
