A member asked:

Friend on stafcure lz for 4 days now for wound on toe.has diabetes too.the oozing stopped & skin hard but a lil black. does it mean its healing.help.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When someone: has diabetes they should not play games with any wounds particularly ones with a history of oozing. Since, we don't see the wound the advice is to follow up with a podiatrist or vascular doctor since the wound is on a toe.
