DM/ LE blisters: Could be due to poor perfusion of the lower extremities from diabetes and ischemia, Did anyone do an ABI ( ankle brachial index ) to see if there is less perfusion of the lower extremity? are they cold? mottled/ loss of hair? May also be eczema, fungus. But diabetics have to be careful about their feet so f/u/ w/ podiatrist/ doctor.
