About Healace Ointment

Healace Ointment belongs to the class of medications called ‘dermatological agents’ used to treat diabetic foot ulcers. A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound in diabetic patients that occur due to uncontrolled diabetes. It appears as a red crater in the skin. It mostly affects the bottom or top of the foot and the tip of the toe.

Healace Ointment contains ‘epidermal growth factor’ which is a protein that can stimulate cell growth.
