Depends: It sounds like you need to be evaluated by a wound care doctor. Once the ulcers have healed you may need orthotics for your shoes to help redistribute the pressures.

I have intermittent pain on the pads of the toes of my left foot when I walk (from the pressure placed on the toes). Oddly, my big toe is not affected. The pain comes and goes, but when its present, its painful when I walk. What causes this?
