Neuropathic Foot Ulcers

They appear on the foot, under the toes in the planar region. They are usually caused by the forces exerted on specific parts of the foot, due to our posture, leading to the formation of callus. Over the time, it may get thicker and develop into penetrating into the tissue present beneath it. This leads to ulceration.

This form of ulceration is usually indicated by a formation of a white macerated patch on the foot that feels moist to touch. If such a patch is detected, you need to pay urgent attention to it otherwise may develop into hematoma or formation of the ulcer beneath the callus.

Thus, if you have diabetes and detect the above-mentioned symptoms, you should consult the doctor immediately and have the callus surgically removed.
