Hi i think it is due to neuropathy..neuropathy can be due to diabetes or hansens disease.see for the sensations over the lesions and see for nerve tenderness to rule out hansens and rule out diabetes by doing rbs.neuropathy would be cause for toe swelling and trophic ulcer.it can be cured by neurokind plus daily once.antibiotic twice daily and application of megaheal ointment can cure the condition
