A member asked:
My sister damaged her foot, it blistered and later, her toes turned black. will the black dead skin eventually peel off her foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It sounds like your sister needs to be evaluated immediately, especially if she is diabetic. If the blackened skin is only a tiny area, it might just slough off, but it sounds like her toes are blackened, which could mean necrosis and that is a true EMERGENCY.
