Answer 3

Take it from someone who knows, Let a doctor decide if what you have is a problem. I got a water blister on my foot and thought it was no problem. When the blister broke, I got a serious infection and i was allergic to the only antibiotic that could fight it. I had to have a below knee amputation. Don't mess around with it. See a Podiatrist or a Vascular surgeon immediately. I think it is safe to assume that you would rather pay for an office exam and know it is ok. then risk going through what I did, They can tell you what to do to prevent an infection.

Answer 4

How long have you had diabetes? What kind of diabetes is it? How serious - what sort of menu, medication and treatment do you regularly undergo? How old are you?

All of these are questions that must be first answered before anyone can give you an intelligent response to your question. Except for the obvious one, which is - SEE A DOCTOR.

Because your doctor already knows the answers to these questions, and in a 3-minute exam can determine either what the mark is or if more testing in indicated.

I have four friends who have lost their feet because of diabetes, and two who have died because of not taking enough care of themselves.

Answer 5

There is no other advice to take other than go to the doctor to find out what the best process would be to proceed. The challenge really is what your blood sugars are currently at. If you have ulcers, that problem will be heightened if you have high blood sugars.

Get to the doctor and make sure your blood sugars are under control. There are no "home" remidies for these things. Only doctor intervention.

Answer 6

That looks more like mites entering your skin. There are a lot in our environment, your condition makes you vulnerable to their stimulated activities in your shoes.
Soak your feet in warm or cool Epson salt solution for 20 mins, then gently dry with a clean cloth, and then use an anti-fungal cream, I think the best one in your case would be Clotrimazole.
Repeat the procedure for one week, once or twice a day. If after 2 days, you don't feel a diiference to better condition, go to your doctor.

Answer 7

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Answer 8

As a diabetic myself, you have to be very careful with your feet, and you should see your doctor about this immediately. Is there any pus or blood coming out of the holes. You need to get this looked out, because this could lead to a infection or even possible amputation of your feet. Please see your doctor. The only way to know if it is a spider bite is to see a medical professional.

Answer 9

As a diabetic, the only advice I can give you is to see a doctor. These kinds of problems can be better prevented with exercise and maintaining your blood sugar at healthy levels.
