Management of plantar ulcers in Hansen's disease.

V S Chauhan1, S S Pandey, V K Shukla.   

Abstract

Plantar ulcers occur in patients with Hansen's disease not because of the disease but because of its neuropathic effects on the skin over the feet. This enhances the risk of trauma to patients' feet, leading to the development of ulcers. This short article reviews the current management of leprosy on the basis of World Health Organization guidelines and the complexities of plantar ulceration in such patients. A guide to its management and prevention is also discussed.
