Treatment of Arterial Ulcer, Lubbocks
The following
precautions can help minimize the risk of developing arterial Ulcer, Lubbocks in at-risk patients and to minimize complications in patients
already exhibiting symptoms:
- Examine feet (especially
between the toes) and legs daily for any unusual changes in color or the
development of sores.

harden or clog the arteries,
leading to improper perfusion to the extremities.
- Manage blood pressure,
cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose levels.
- Ensure that footwear is
properly fitted to avoid points of rubbing or pressure. Avoid wearing
constrictive socks.
- Avoid crossing legs while
sitting.

extended periods.
- Avoid cold temperature.

injury and infection.
