Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major health issues. Patients with DM are prone to multiple complications including diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Reductions in frequency of the development of ulcer can be achieved by taking a multidisciplinary approach to patient management. Studies reveal promising effects of homoeopathy in reducing the associated symptoms and healing the ulcer. This case report presents a case of a diabetic patient complaining of a foot ulcer for the past 1 month, following formation of bullae. On the basis of totality of symptoms, individualised homoeopathic medicine Secale cor was prescribed. The ulcer improved in six months after homoeopathic medication and regular dressing. The improvement has been depicted in this case report through pictographic evidence.
