With cutting-edge skin health management, counseling and advisory services, Budget Pharmacy in The Woodlands, TX is leading the fight against the rising number of Texans struggling with neuropathic pain caused by skin issues in their hands, arms, lower legs and feet.

Instead of waiting for visible injuries to occur, this innovative medical service provides guidance on both curative and preventive methods for maintaining skin wellness and avoiding the need for drastic measures like amputation.

Over 20 million Americans are believed to be affected by peripheral neuropathy, a nerve disorder that can cause sensations of pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hands, arms or feet.

Individuals living with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease (a condition that narrows the arteries) are especially vulnerable. Shockingly, 28 percent of those diagnosed with diabetes fall into this category.

The future holds a concerning rise in these figures. Obesity rates are fueling the development of diabetes and vascular disease, with 100.1 million adults (41.9 percent ) and 14.7 million children (19.7 percent ) currently classified as obese in the US.

In 2023, the number of American states with obesity rates surpassing 35 percent rose to a concerning 19. This is an alarming increase from just three years ago when it was only 16 states. Shockingly, not too long ago, no states had reached this dangerous level of obesity. And if current trends continue, more than half of all U.S. adults are projected to be affected by obesity by the year 2035.

According to Budget Pharmacy, there are limited solutions available for improving the skin health of lower legs and feet. Medical professionals typically only provide temporary relief and wait until wounds have already formed before starting treatment. The common practice of using moisturizers often falls short in producing successful results in a clinical setting.

Severe injuries can be stubborn to heal, often necessitating invasive and uncomfortable procedures such as surgery. In the most extreme cases, amputation may be the only solution. Unfortunately, there are limited options available for patients with these conditions.

Budget Pharmacy states it is time to shift perspective and take a proactive approach in managing skin conditions caused by neuropathy and work towards preventing wounds from developing in the first place therefore minimising the need for palliative care.

Budget Pharmacy's newest offering caters to those with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease, providing personalized assistance in maintaining healthy skin on their lower limbs. Due to limited blood flow, these individuals may face challenges in nourishing their skin tissue, resulting in persistent wounds like diabetic ulcers that are notoriously hard to treat. This service aims to prevent such problems and promote optimal well-being for its clients.

With the rise in obesity rates, The Woodlands community is being empowered with the new initiative from Budget Pharmacy - one that offers guidance on managing neuropathic skin conditions and preventing them from reaching critical levels. As patient numbers continue to surge, the pharmacy's personalized counselling and advice program has become a vital aspect of Woodlands community health management services.

The knowledgeable team at Budget Pharmacy will guide clients on various skin care concerns such as banishing parched skin with thick scales, addressing hyperkeratotic skin, mending diabetic ulcers, easing pain and neuropathy, boosting skin moisture, reducing swelling in the lower legs, enhancing complexion, strengthening pedal pulses and resolving excessive weeping and drainage caused by edema.

Budget Pharmacy empowers customers to take charge of their own treatment for neuropathic skin issues. However, caution must be exercised when choosing the right remedies. For instance, those with diabetes or sensitive skin may experience negative effects from certain creams and lotions. Furthermore, open wounds should not always be treated with the same products and different topical treatments offer varying benefits.

The new service aims to guide patients and prevent neuropathic skin conditions from escalating into painful wounds, including diabetic ulcers. The ultimate goal is to avoid the need for extensive surgical procedures that can lead to amputation.
