In the diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcers or pre-ulcerative lesions, the following should be taken into account: History of trauma. History of puncture wound (with or without shoe gear) History of change in shoe gear. History of deformity, either acquired or congenital. History of callus or blister. History of wound care management.

Approach to the differential diagnosis of leg ulcers
A leg ulcer is a physical finding that can result from multiple etiologies, rather than a diagnosis ( table 1 ). Thus, determination of the cause is essential for selecting appropriate treatment and determining the need for further evaluation. The most common causes of leg ulcers are venous insufficiency, arterial insufficiency, and neuropathic ...
