Yes!: You at high risk for more complicated conditions. You should see a podiatrist as soon as you can.

Proffesional care: Treating diabetic foot ulcers is best accomplished with a team approach. Optimal outcomes can be achieved when your primary physician work together with a podiatrist, neurologist, endocrinologist, vascular surgeon, orthopedist, nutritionist, infectious disease specialist, and pedorthist when indicated. Do not attempt to take care of it on your own. Seek professional advice and treatment.
