The new service advises on active and preventative treatments to manage skin health and prevent wounds developing.

More than 20 million people in the U.S. are estimated to have some form of peripheral neuropathy, a nerve condition causing pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hands, arms or feet.
People diagnosed with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease (narrowing of the arteries) are particularly at risk. Of those with diabetes, 28% are sufferers.
These numbers are set to significantly increase. The onset of diabetes and vascular disease is increasingly driven by obesity levels. 100.1 million (41.9%) adults and 14.7 million (19.7%) children in the US are considered obese. In 2023, 19 states in America have obesity rates over 35 percent, an increase from 16 states in 2022. A decade ago, no states had obesity rates above 35 percent. The percentage of U.S. adults with obesity is predicted to reach 58% by 2035.
Budget Pharmacy states that a review of the treatments available for patients reveals few options to improve skin health in the lower legs and feet. Medical practitioners usually only offer palliative measures and begin treatment only when wounds appear. Indeed, the common approach of applying skin moisturizers is usually ineffective in delivering positive clinical outcomes.
Wounds can be severe, difficult to heal and require extensive and sometimes painful interventions including surgery. The worst cases result in amputations. The options for patients with such conditions are limited.
A new more rounded preventative approach is needed to actively manage neuropathic related skin conditions to stop wounds appearing, where possible, and palliative care being required.
Budget Pharmacy's latest service provides specialized guidance, especially for individuals with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) who struggle to maintain skin health in their lower limbs. They may suffer from restricted blood flow to their lower limbs, leading to a decrease in nourishment for the skin tissue. This can lead to the development of stubborn wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, which are notoriously difficult to heal. Its purpose is to help clients prevent these issues and achieve optimal overall health.
The new Budget Pharmacy initiative will empower the people of Spring with advice on how to manage neuropathic skin conditions and prevent them becoming critical. As patient volumes soar with increasing obesity levels, in-pharmacy counselling and advice is seen as an essential part of Budget Pharmacy’s community health management service.
The Budget Pharmacy team will offer advice on a range of issues associated with skin care including eliminating severely dry skin with plaques, treating hyperkeratotic skin, healing a diabetic ulcer, reducing and eliminating pain/neuropathy, improving skin hydration, eliminating lower leg edema, improving skin color, improving pedal pulse strength and eliminating serious weeping and drainage caused by edema.
Budget Pharmacy encourages customers to actively self manage neuropathic skin conditions but advises that treatments must be carefully selected. For example, diabetic skin sufferers or those with very sensitive skin can suffer adverse reactions to some creams and lotions. Not all treatments should be applied to open skin wounds. And different lotions and creams deliver different benefits.
The goal of the new service will be to advise patients and reduce the risk of neuropathic skin conditions developing into wounds such as diabetic ulcers, and preventing the need for surgical intervention, which is always painful, but can be extensive and sometimes results in amputation.

What’s so Chinese about US Open tennis players like Zheng Qinwen?
“Woo-hoooo!” The cheers swirled as Wu Yibing ended the rally with a blistering forehand winner down the line. The first syllable was emphatically articulated, signalling that this was an intentional play on Wu’s last name, not a random shout after one too many honey deuces. It was Wu’s second-round match against Australian James Duckworth at the US Open earlier this month. Wu’s most vocal supporters turned out to be three white Americans sitting behind the baseline. Widely considered the most...
Manchester City ready to fight Premier League after reports club guilty of 100-plus charges
Manchester City plan to fight the Premier League for months if found guilty of alleged financial breaches in potentially the biggest scandal in English football history. Reports on Friday said an independent panel had upheld nearly all of the 100-plus financial charges against the club in a case that was initiated more than three years ago. City did not confirm the decision, saying their case with the Premier League was “ongoing”. City, however, would appeal against a guilty decision and the...
Improved Zhang Zhanshuo, rising Yu Zidi headline China’s swimming hopes for 2028 Olympics
The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games may only be halfway through, but the swimmers checked out of the Tokyo Aquatics Centre on Friday. An extended rest was probably too much of a luxury for most of them with the Swimming World Cup just around the corner. A trio of three-day meets in Baku, Tashkent and Astana from the start of next month will also act as qualifiers for the short course World Aquatics Swimming Championships, which run in Beijing from December 1 to 6. Four swimmers, two each from Japan and...
Chinese teen titan Zhang Zhanshuo counts out the golds after magnificent 7 at Asian Games
Teenage juggernaut Zhang Zhanshuo became the first swimmer to win seven gold medals at an Asian Games on the final night at the Tokyo pool on Friday, when China cemented their superpower status. Sitting on a lane divider, the 19-year-old Zhang counted out the golds with his fingers to mark the moment after cruising to the 400 metres freestyle title in a Games record of three minutes, 41.28 seconds, with Japan’s Kazushi Imafuku a distant runner-up. Having already won the 200m, 400m and 1,500m...
After 50,000km, British around-the-world walker faces final hurdle – at his home doorstep
After 28 years and 50,000 kilometres (31,000 miles), a British adventurer is facing one last hurdle in his bid to trek home from South America without using any form of transport: the Channel. “We thought we got permission to swim from the coast of France. Turned out that is not the case,” Karl Bushby, a former paratrooper, said as he walked towards Cap Blanc-Nez in northern France, within sight of the white cliffs of the English coast. “There was some internal confusion. So, right now we’re...
Uzbekistan gymnast Oksana Chusovitina, 51, defies the years in Asian Games final
Showing that age is not a constraint, 51-year-old Uzbekistan gymnast Oksana Chusovitina capped off her seventh Asian Games appearance with a fifth-place finish – 32 years after her first appearance at the regional event. Competing against athletes young enough to be her daughter, Chusovitina – who made her bow at the 1994 Hiroshima Games – more than held her own in the women’s vault artistic gymnastics final. Among the 19 athletes competing in the women’s vault on Thursday, 12 were under 21...
Asian Games, day 6: Hong Kong’s fencers finish with silver, gymnast Ng wins crucial bronze
Hong Kong’s men had to settle for silver in the team at the Asian Games on Friday, where there was a rare bronze in gymnastics and the city’s swimmer gave us a glimpse of what life will be like without Siobhan Haughey. With squash returning to the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028, both of the city’s mixed doubles pairs secured a bronze and will have the chance to go at least one better in the semi-finals on Saturday. There was bronze too in the esports Fighting Games category, although table...
Chinese teen swim sensation Yu Zidi set for Olympic stardom after golden Asian Games
China’s 13-year-old swimming prodigy Yu Zidi has stamped her mark all over the Asian Games and she could cause a sensation at the Los Angeles Olympics in two years’ time. The schoolgirl won all three individual races she swam this week in Tokyo with Asian Games records – a series of performances that belied her tender age. Out of the pool, she has proved herself to be a typical teenager, joking around with teammates and freezing when asked about herself in interviews. She will be 15 when the LA...
Hong Kong hero back in town for Fifa Asean Cup, as current coach plays down key-man exit
Scheduling the pre-tournament press conference less than five hours before the opening match did little to disabuse anyone of the impression that everybody involved in organising the inaugural Fifa Asean Cup is flying by the seat of their pants. It all got too much for Vladica Grujic, the fiery Laos head coach, as the clock ticked 15 minutes beyond the scheduled 12.15pm start time. “This is crazy, we’re playing this evening and my player [captain Bounphachan Bounkong] needs to have lunch,”...
Hong Kong have day to remember as Siobhan Haughey wins fourth medal at ‘final Asian Games’
Rower Chiu Hin-chun grabbed the gold he needed to complete his set of Asian Games medals, Siobhan Haughey won her fourth of the week, and there was a wushu first as Hong Kong’s athletes had a Thursday to remember in Japan. Chiu’s triumph in the lightweight men’s singles sculls was one of four medals the city’s rowers brought home in Nagoya and Tokyo. Winne Hung Wing-yan took silver in the women’s lightweight single sculls, while there was bronze for women’s pair Cheung Yuen-shan and Leung...

Japan’s men pulled off a stunning upset at the Asian Games on Thursday, beating China to claim table tennis team gold in front of a raucous home crowd. With the sides tied at 2-2 following a back and forth tussle, Sora Matsushima won the decisive match, downing Wen Ruibo 3-1 at Sky Hall Toyota. Matsushima recovered from just losing the opening encounter to Wang Chuqin, who laboured his way to a 3-2 victory, but was overpowered 3-0 by an inspired Tomokazu Harimoto, who set up the thrilling finale...
