Dear sir

As I reviewed your query. It appears you are suffering from diabetic neuropathy. Diabetes neuropathy is accompanied by microvascular circulation impaired.
It is characterized by impaired sweat production. Which leads to break of skin.
But it is cyclic phenomenon which is followed by infection and ulcer.
Since there is impaired circulation the process of healing is also impaired.
It is ideal to prevent the ulceration by using proper footware. Optimal sugar and blood pressure control is recommended.

Thanks
