A small crack in the skin doesn't seem like a big deal... until diabetes changes everything.
In today's video, Dr. Nail Nipper treats a patient with diabetes who developed a foot wound that appeared within just a few weeks. Because diabetic neuropathy can reduce feeling in the feet, even a tiny blister, crack, or splinter can quickly become a serious problem.
Watch as Dr. Sperling carefully removes the surrounding callus, evaluates the wound, discusses treatment options, and explains why checking your feet every day could save your toe—or even your leg.
This is Part 1 of a diabetic wound journey.

FAQ
Why are diabetic foot wounds dangerous?
Diabetes can reduce blood flow and sensation, making injuries harder to notice and slower to heal.
What is neuropathy?
Neuropathy is nerve damage that decreases feeling in the feet, increasing the risk of unnoticed injuries.
What is Medihoney?
Medihoney is a medical-grade honey used to help support wound healing while providing antibacterial properties.
Why remove the callus?
Removing thick callus reduces pressure and allows healthy tissue to heal from the inside out.
How often should diabetics check their feet?
Every day. Daily visual inspections can help catch problems before they become serious.
