Local and therapeutic intervention in the management of dushta vrana w.s.r. to tropic ulcer – a case study

Abstract

An ulcer is a break in the continuity of the covering epithelium- skin or mucous membrane. Trophic ulcer is a kind of nonspecific ulcer. Wound healing is a mechanism where the body attempts to restore the integrity of the injured part. A clear wound heals earlier with a minimum scar as compared to contaminated wound. Several factors affect the normal process of wound healing such as the site of ulcer, vascular insufficiency, malnutrition, neurological deficit and drugs like corticosteroids.
