This medicine is also used to support healing in other chronic wounds, such as bedsores. Apply the gel to the wound as prescribed by your doctor, keeping the area clean and dressed as advised.

Keeping your blood sugar well controlled and off-loading pressure from the affected foot can help this medicine work more effectively.
