Ulcer Stockings For Your Feet

Ulcer stockings and other forms of foot ulcers have long been a source of embarrassment for the millions of people who suffer from them. They are uncomfortable to wear and can be a breeding ground for bacteria. There is a method available that will effectively shrink the ulcer so that it disappears within a few weeks. It’s called Ulcer Compression.

The ulcer itself is surrounded by a mesh protective layer so it cannot heal. When it is no longer able to hold an infection, it sloughs off. The socks work by compressing the area underneath the ulcer. They do this by increasing the volume of blood the body receives through the veins in the area.

What happens is the weight of the tissue in the area changes. This causes the body to push the excess tissue out through the socks. The pressure on the blood is then reduced. Because the pressure is reduced the blood is less viscous. Less viscous blood results in less stagnant blood, which results in less blood pooling at the site of the ulcer. Less stagnant blood reduces the rate of formation of an ulcer.

The advantage of these ulcer stockings is that there is no risk of irritation of the skin. The sock protects the skin while reducing pressure. There are many different designs, just as there are with any other type of stocking. There are some that go under your knees to minimize pressure on the knee area.

Ulcer stockings have many benefits. They are easy to use. They are comfortable, and they help reduce the pain of foot ulcers. They are so flexible that they can be worn under pants without an additional undergarment.

You can also have the same benefits with other types of stockings that help reduce pressure on the skin with the same effect. These ulcers should not be used for foot care. They should be stored out of the sun to avoid sunburn. If they get wet or dirty, clean them immediately with soap and water. Moisture and dirt will attract bacteria, which is what can lead to an infection.

Ulcer stockings are available in a variety of colors. They come in many different widths, both tall and wide. For men, there are short and long sleeves. Women may prefer the more narrow or tight-fitting socks. Some people with certain medical conditions will want to stay away from socks or ulcer stockings altogether.

When choosing your ulcer stockings make sure you pick the ones that are made for your foot type. You want them to help you heal but not cause any more discomfort than necessary. You may also want to find out what the recommended washing practices are for your type of sock to avoid any irritation.

People who use wool as their undergarments should make sure that they have wool socks. The wool will trap air between the skins and allow you to wear your socks for long periods of time without any irritation. There are other options like nylon, cotton, and silk socks that are less irritating to your ulcers.

There are many people who don’t know it yet but cotton can be just as irritating as those nasty socks. So when choosing cotton stockings, pay attention to the list of ingredients. Those with glycerin will be milder on your skin. However, cotton is also a major irritant and can cause skin irritation. Cotton ulcer stockings can come in two different types, regular and long-sleeved.

As mentioned above, you want to choose the appropriate size for the size of your feet. Your doctor will help you figure out the right sock for you. In general, people who wear standard size socks can wear long-sleeved types of ulcer stockings. If you want to wear your socks shorter, you can go with the short-sleeved version.

Socks made from cotton will be able to absorb moisture well. This will help reduce the chances of irritation to your feet. You need to wear these socks for a period of time, depending on what treatment you’re getting. The length of time varies from person to person. So be patient with your ulcer stockings.
