Ischemic ulcers, also known as arterial ulcers, occur due to insufficient blood flow to the lower extremities, primarily affecting the feet and toes. This lack of adequate circulation is often caused by underlying conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), which leads to tissue breakdown and ulceration.

These ulcers are characterized by their deep, punched-out appearance and are usually surrounded by skin that appears shiny and taut. Unlike venous ulcers, which are caused by poor blood return to the heart and are typically found on the lower legs, arterial ulcers result directly from reduced arterial blood supply. They are often located on the tips of the toes, heels, or other pressure points on the feet.
