Patients with diabetes mellitus are at risk for developing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which significantly affect the quality
of life and can lead to lower limb amputation. This report describes a case of a nonhealing DFU, treated successfully with a
topical solution containing ‘Diperoxochloric acid’ (DPOCL). A 46-year-old female with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus
and hypertension came with a nonhealing abscess on her left great toe, for which amputation had been initially recommended.
The use of DPOCL reduced the wound size by approximately 70% in 1 week and complete wound closure was observed in
28 days. This demonstrates the potential of DPOCL as an alternative therapy in DFU in wound care.
