Scientific studies have shown that around 80% of diabetic foot ulcerations occur on calloused skin on the foot. Diabetic patients can have nervous system dysfunctions and because of this, a patientโs skin is much more prone to dryness which can lead to loss of elasticity and formation of calluses at the site of a healed wound.
Heel Balm is prescribed by both chiropodist, doctors and podiatrists to remove callus from the foot and in doing so, removes a prevalent risk factor associated with diabetic ulcers. Any balm or foot moisturiser with at least 25% Urea is the best way to keep your skin nourished.
