Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a vinegar dressing is better than a standard saline dressing for treating infected diabetic foot ulcers. If you have a serious foot ulcer, the vinegar may help fight infection and promote healing.
