WARNING: Clinical images.
A 62-year-old woman with insulin-dependent diabetes for 55 years and biopsy-confirmed necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD); leg ulcers had been present for 2½ years.
After 37 HBOT sessions, the ulcers showed clear healing progress, with a more settled result at 3 months.
NLD is not a UHMS-recognised indication for HBOT; decisions are individual and HBOT is used as part of an overall wound and skin management plan.
Have you ever dealt with a wound that just would not shift? What helped most; dressing changes, compression, offloading, or time?
Always seek professional medical advice for personalised care.
