Wounds & Chronic Infections 

Chronic infections, sometimes called ulcers, are wounds that have a biological or physiological reason for not healing. If a wound is chronic usually does not have anything to do with the amount of time the wound has been present. If unrecognized and untreated, chronic wounds—such as a leg ulcer from a vein problem, a foot wound in a person with diabetes, a bed sore, or an infected wound — may cause serious health complications.

Chronic wounds can be recognized by the loss of skin and/or tissue surrounding the wound. If a wound has become chronic, intensive medical intervention is necessary for the wound heal. There are several types of chronic wounds and each has its own causes and treatment regimens.
