A careful routine for diabetic wounds
The nurse reviews the current dressing plan, asks whether there have been changes in pain, discharge, swelling or the patient’s general condition, and works within the instructions provided by the treating clinician. The wound is not diagnosed or graded by the home-care visit. Instead, the procedure is completed carefully and observations are shared so the doctor can make medical decisions.
Foot protection between visits
Families can help by keeping the dressing dry and protected, checking footwear and reducing avoidable pressure on the affected area. Do not cut callus, apply household remedies or change prescribed products without clinical advice. If the patient has new symptoms or the dressing becomes soaked or displaced, call the care team or treating doctor promptly.
Home support for family caregivers
A nurse visit can be useful when a relative is unsure how to remove an old dressing or keep a foot wound protected. The family receives a clear explanation of the completed procedure and what was requested by the doctor. Regularity is arranged according to the clinical plan rather than a generic promise about healing time.

Frequently asked questions
Do you dress diabetic foot wounds at home in Kolkata?＋
Yes, prescribed diabetic wound and foot dressing support is available at home across Kolkata, subject to appointment availability.
Can the nurse decide which diabetic wound medicine to use?＋
No. Dressing products, medication and changes to the care plan must come from the treating doctor.
When should a diabetic wound be shown to a doctor urgently?＋
Follow the treating clinician’s advice. New or worsening pain, swelling, discharge, fever, spreading redness or a change in general condition should be reported promptly.
What causes a foot ulcer in people with diabetes?＋
Diabetic foot ulcers usually develop from a combination of reduced sensation (neuropathy), poor circulation, and repeated pressure on one area of the foot — small injuries can go unnoticed and worsen because the person cannot feel them forming.
What does a foot ulcer look like?＋
Foot ulcers commonly appear as a round, punched-out-looking sore, often on the ball of the foot, heel, or a toe, sometimes surrounded by thickened or callused skin. Depth and appearance vary depending on how advanced the wound is.
How are foot ulcers treated at home?＋
Home care typically involves regular cleaning and dressing of the wound, offloading pressure from the area, and close monitoring for early signs of infection, alongside whatever your doctor has prescribed. A home nurse can help maintain a consistent dressing routine for these wounds.
How long does it take for a diabetic foot ulcer to heal?＋
Healing timelines vary widely based on wound depth, blood sugar control, and circulation. Some ulcers may heal in weeks with appropriate care, while others take longer, so the treating clinician should guide follow-up.
When should I call a doctor about a foot ulcer?＋
See a doctor promptly if the wound is growing, has a foul odor, is producing pus, if the surrounding skin is red, warm, or swollen, or if you develop a fever — these can be signs of a spreading infection.
