This guide is designed to teach and inform about wounds and their care. The first section covers the structure of the skin and describes general facts about wounds. Chronic wounds and their treatment are descibed on the inside pages, including diabetic foot ulcers. Venous leg wounds and wound care products are detailed on the back page. Your healthcare provider is the best source of information about taking care of your skin. Always check with your healthcare provider if your wound is deep, you don't know how you got it, you think it may be infected, or it isn't healing as expected.
