Hi everyone,
Just wanted to ask a quick question.
I was putting cream on my feet yesterday and noticed a dark splodge under my skin on my little toe. I normally get blisters there and I know my work shoes pinch but I have no idea how long it's been there for. I was going to leave it for a bit and see if it developed but I just got the diabetes uk health crisis leaflet through the door today on leg amputations and I'm quite frankly terrified!! It looks like a blood blister but without the bulge on the top (sorry for the TMI), I have been assessed as "low risk" by a podiatrist, should I be concerned...? If it develops in any way I will run to the GP but don't want to trouble anyone with something which is not a problem. Any advice or experience would be great, thank you o_O

I would get it looked at Cookiemonster… we can never be too careful with our feet...why not have the nurse or GP take a look or ask for a call with one of them...they won't mind...then they can advise you whether or not you need to attend for an appointment.

If it dos need attention Cookiemonster they can deal with it ASAP...if not (hopefully) then at least that will put your mind to rest & stop the worrying...stop the anxiety...good luck
 
Thank you for your advice and support, just emailed my nurse for an appointment asap 🙂unfortunately I'm a bit of a worrier but should be ok!
