Wiregrass, these temperatures are all over the place, and your skin can feel it.
When the weather flips from warm to chilly, people with chronic wounds, diabetes, or circulation issues may notice more dryness, irritation, or slower healing. A few simple steps can make a big difference:
• Keep skin moisturized: Sudden cold snaps can dry skin quickly, making it more vulnerable to cracks or breakdown.
• Protect your feet: If you have diabetes or neuropathy, check your feet daily and wear well-fitted shoes and clean socks.
• Stay on top of wound care: Keep dressings clean, dry, and changed as directed. Temperature changes can impact moisture levels.
• Don’t ignore changes: Redness, swelling, or increased drainage are signs to get things checked sooner rather than later.
Our team is here to help you stay healthy and healing through every weather swing the Wiregrass sends our way.
If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re just a call away. 💚
