Why Doesn T Injury On Foot Heal?

Why does the injury on my foot refuses to heal, though my skin will heal but that spot will still be strong, whenever I use something to scrape it, it will go back to its normal state. It has been on my leg for up 8 years, please help me out...........

Hello,

Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Non healing injuries on foot are common in diabetics. Please get checked about your diabetic status. Apart from diabetes- venous ulcers, those due to other causes of peripheral neuropathy can also cause this. Please get evaluated for these.

Stay healthy and thank you for consulting! You can contact me again anytime, if you need clarifications or further assistance in future. Kindly rate the answer if you are satisfied.
