good evening madam i am sunil kumar having congenital sensory neuropathy leading to frequent ulcers to foot though they heal taking 2-3 yrs again pressure spots develop and lead to fresh ulcers there.kindly let me know specific treatment for them regards sunil
Unfortunately, there is currently no treatment for congenital sensory neuropathy of the lower extremities except to be constantly vigilant for ulcerations and to treat them aggressively by offloading the foot involved and providing enough cushions so that more ulcers do not form.
Changing shoes and socks, using very soft fabric on the feet, losing weight (if appropriate), and keeping the feet elevated when seated can help the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dariush Saghafi
