| | There is no evidence that any form of drug treatment improves venous ulcer healing, and antibiotics should be used only if the patient has cellulitis. | | | Leg ulcers are debilitating and painful and greatly reduce patients' quality of life. | | | Lack of pain therefore suggests a neuropathic aetiology. |

| | Ulceration is particularly likely to occur over the medial or lateral surface, the plantar aspect, and the posterior part of the heel. | | | Regular curetting of the hyperkeratotic tissues around the heel, in addition to gentle cleansing with soap and water followed by the application of topical moisturizers, helps maintain healthy skin that can better resist breakdown and injury.22 Athletic shoes and thick absorbent socks are adequate in most patients. | | | Patient education regarding foot hygiene, skin care, and proper footwear is crucial to reducing the risk of an injury that can lead to heel ulceration. |

| | Nose, chin, forehead, occiput, chest, back, and elbow are among the more common of the infrequent sites for pressure ulceration. | | | Rather, it is a system designed to describe the depth of a pressure sore at the specific time of examination, to facilitate communication among the various disciplines involved in the study and care of such patients. | | | Because the common denominator of all such ulcerations is pressure, pressure sore is the better term to describe this condition. |

| | According to Brooks (l985) duodenal ulceration should be looked upon as a heterogeneous syndrome which includes the following: (1) acute erosions; (2) uncomplicated ulcers; (3) bleeding; (4) perforation; (5) gastric outlet obstruction; (6) ulcers resistant to healing under treatment, and (7) recurrent ulceration after surgery. | | | (l985) found histological evidence of chronic "antral" gastritis in 33 of 36 patients with duodenal ulceration who required surgery after prolonged but unsuccessful medical therapy. | | | (l967) performed histological examinations of the "antrum" in 75 surgical resection specimens of duodenal ulceration. |

| | The risk for the development of ulceration can be assessed by basic clinical examination of the foot. | | | A person who has had a foot ulcer is at life-long risk of further ulceration. | | | However, severe ischaemia alone can cause ulceration on the margins of the foot and may result in gangrene, and ultimately amputation. |
