Brief Answer:
Once the slough is removed,it may heal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Nerve supply and blood supply have to be good for any wound to heal.
If the slough over the ulcer is removed,red granulation tissue is expected to develop. Then,after repeated dressing it may heal.
Blood supply to the foot can be known by Colour doppler examination.
Please consult a Vascular surgeon and proceed further.
Wish you good health
