Hi, Sorry to hear the condition. The exact cause can not be interpreted by this information. Anyway in case of poor diabetic control many a time ulcer developed at foot. This is a common phenomenon. Consult your doctor, if any infection found then culture sensitivity will be done and antibiotics will be prescribed accordingly. Other measures like foot elevation will be helpful. Consult your doctor.
