Abstract Diabetic foot is often quiet a dreaded disability, with long stretches of hospitalization, and impossible mounting expenses, with ever dangling end result of an amputated limb. Citric acid treatment of chronic infected wounds offers excellent results. A Quantitative true experimental study was conducted in SVMCH & RC Hospital with 40 diabetic foot ulcer samples. 20 in experimental and 20 in control group are chosen by simple random sampling technique. Pre test and post test was conducted in both groups. Citric acid dressing was provided to experimental group for I week. The post test mean and SD of experimental group was 15.40±3.12 with ‘t’ value of 5.493 which was significant at p<0.001 level. It was proven that the citric acid dressing is effective for diabetic foot ulcer patients.
