Foot injury

Foot injury

I tripped on a metal toy about 3 weeks ago and it is healing but when I pulled the scab from it is is still tender should I seek treatment for this or will it heal on its own. I have Diabetes Type 2

Hi Johnny,

From experience I can tell you that if your diabetes is under control, relatively minor wound injuries that are appropriatly treated (cleaned, antiseptic applied and bandaged if necessary) will usually heal in a few days to a week. You did not say if your diabetes is under control. If the injury has not completely healed in 3 weeks you may need both the injury and your current diabetes status evaluated.
