How do I know my ulcer is autoimmune?

Suspicion rises when ulcers are multiple, very painful, accompanied by rashes or joint pains, and unresponsive to dressings. Blood tests and a small biopsy confirm the diagnosis.

Will immune medicines weaken me?

Modern regimens are carefully dosed and monitored. Controlled immunity heals wounds and protects organs, and doses are tapered as disease activity falls, always under specialist supervision.

Can the ulcers return after healing?

They can if the disease flares, which is why follow-up and maintenance treatment matter. Most patients who stay on their plan remain ulcer-free long term.

What does treatment cost in Surat?

Costs combine diagnostic tests, immune medicines that vary by drug, and affordable wound care visits. The clinic provides the full picture in writing before treatment starts.

How is an autoimmune ulcer diagnosed?

Through a combination of blood tests for immune markers and a biopsy from the wound edge. The pattern of the ulcer, its site and its pain level also guide the diagnosis.

Will I need lifelong medication?

Many patients need long-term immune treatment to prevent recurrence, though doses are usually reduced once the disease is stable. It is reviewed regularly rather than fixed forever.

Why is my ulcer so painful compared to its size?

Pain out of proportion to the wound size is characteristic of immune-driven ulcers, because inflammation irritates the nerves in the skin. It is a useful clue towards the diagnosis.

Autoimmune Ulcers

When the immune system attacks skin or its blood vessels, ulcers appear that no dressing can out-run. Treating the immune disease is what heals the wound.

Overview

Autoimmune ulcers arise when immune diseases such as lupus, vasculitis or pyoderma gangrenosum attack the skin or its vessels. They heal when immune control and expert wound care are delivered together.

What Are Autoimmune Ulcers?

In autoimmune disease, the body's defence system misfires against its own tissues. When skin or its small vessels are the target, ulcers develop, often multiple, painful and slow to respond. Common culprits include lupus, rheumatoid disease, the vasculitides and pyoderma gangrenosum. The wound is the visible sign; the disease behind it is the true patient.

Autoimmunity: a condition in which the immune system attacks the body's own healthy tissues.

How Does EDFC Treat Them?

We confirm the diagnosis through immune blood panels and biopsy, then treat on two fronts: immune-controlling medicines to stop the attack, planned with rheumatology colleagues, and protective wound care that lets the calming skin rebuild. Circulation is verified through vascular assessment so nothing else holds healing back.
