About this condition
People with diabetes are more likely to develop foot wounds because of reduced sensation and poor circulation. A small blister or crack can develop into a wound that heals slowly. Early assessment is important. Checking the circulation and treating any infection can help protect the foot from further damage. A specialist can advise on the right care.
