Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a paramount and rising medical challenge in both industrial and emerging nations. For Germany, 6.9â¯million out of 64.9â¯million insured persons in 2010 were reported to suffer from DM and approximately 5.8â¯million suffered from type 2 DM. The prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) or diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is 2-10% and the incidence is 2-6%. In addition, patients with DM present associated skin disorders with chronic wound healing, e.g., pyoderma gangrenosum or lecrobiosis lipoidica. Knowledge of the pathogenesis and skills for treatment of chronic wounds in diabetic patients are important for dermatologists. Patients with diabetes and wound healing disorders and accompanied unspecific skin disorders like eczema, cellulitis or contact dermatitis are often primarily or secondarily treated by dermatologists. In this article, practical hints for the treatment of DFS and other chronic wound in patients with DM are presented.
