See doctor & shop!: Anyone, but especially diabetics, needs to take bad foot eruptions seriously. Get to a doctor and have it treated. Also take seriously recommendations for avoiding future problems. Buy proper foot gear including compression socks/hose. Heed diet & exercise advice, test & use medications as advised. Your role will not be to treat but to prevent these sort of symptoms. Best wishes.

Don't unroof: Go to drugstore and get skinprep and put over blisters, small amount, three times a day to toughen the skin. Put ot around the blisters too. When the blisters pop, continue and don't ill the skin, let it fall off . Of they look red or infected go immediately to your doctor.
