Know the Risks: 5 Common Factors Leading to Skin Ulcer Wounds

Understanding the risk factors can help in early prevention and better care:

Poor Blood Circulation
Reduced blood flow, especially in the legs, limits oxygen and nutrients needed for skin repair.

Diabetes
High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and blood vessels, increasing the risk of skin ulcers.

Immobility or Limited Movement
Prolonged pressure from sitting or lying in one position can lead to pressure ulcers.

Advanced Age
Aging skin becomes thinner and less elastic, making it more prone to breakdown and injury.

Poor Nutrition
Lack of essential nutrients weakens the skin’s ability to heal and resist infections.

Myth vs. Fact: Do wounds really heal better when left to “breathe”?

Myth: Letting a wound air out helps it heal faster.
Fact: Moist wound environments actually promote faster and more effective healing.

Modern wound care has evolved far beyond traditional beliefs.
Leaving a wound uncovered can delay healing, increase the risk of infection, and cause scab formation that slows tissue regeneration.

Prevent infection before it starts!
Clean, cover, and care — simple steps that protect wounds and speed up healing.

1. Hand Hygiene
Always clean your hands before and after wound care to prevent the spread of bacteria.

2. Proper Wound Cleaning
Gently clean the wound with saline or antiseptic solution to remove dirt and bacteria.

3. Use Sterile Dressings
Cover wounds with sterile, appropriate dressings to protect from contaminants.

4. Avoid Touching the Wound
Minimize contact with the wound to reduce the risk of introducing infections.

5. Monitor for Signs of Infection
Watch for redness, swelling, pain, or pus — early signs that need medical attention.

Choosing the right wound dressing can make all the difference in healing.
Here’s what to look for:

1. Too Dry?
A dry wound can delay healing. Use a moisture-retentive dressing like hydrogels or hydrocolloids to maintain optimal hydration.

2. Deep Wound?
For deep wounds, go for fillers like alginates, foams, or hydrofiber dressings to promote healing from the inside out.

3. Too Moist?
Choose absorptive dressings like foams or alginates to manage moisture while protecting the surrounding skin.

4. Infected?
Infection needs active management. Opt for antimicrobial dressings—those with silver, iodine, or honey—to control bacteria and support healing.
