A member asked:
My dad has diabetes and there is something black under his skin and its painful and we suspect that something entered into his skin what should he do?

See your doctor: Sounds like something his doctor should take a look at. Diabetics especially can be more susceptible to infections. They also can get unusual skin issues because of the diabetes. Best thing to do is to have someone look at him.
