Abstract

Background and objectives: Ulcers are a global public health problem in the world, and expensive wound dressings are not universally available. Most wound patients suffer injuries that can be treated conservatively. However, the ideal dressing for the wound has not been identified. The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in physical and morphological properties due to topical application of honey ointment on diabetic foot ulcers or cutaneous wounds. Methods: Honey ointment contained 40% honey in the lanoline base. Five patients of either sex were selected.
