Coming soonA skin ulcer is a circumscribed, full-thickness cutaneous defect characterized by the loss of the epidermis and portions of the dermis, occasionally penetrating into subcutaneous tissue, fascia, or bone.
It directly affects the integumentary system and frequently arises in individuals with compromised tissue perfusion, chronic systemic disease, or prolonged immobility, such as older adults and patients with diabetes mellitus, peripheral arterial disease, or chronic venous insufficiency.
Pathophysiologically, sustained mechanical pressure, ischemia, chronic inflammation, or peripheral neuropathy impairs cellular oxygenation and nutrient delivery, resulting in local tissue necrosis, defective wound repair, and chronic open crateriform lesions prone to secondary bacterial infection.
