Figure 1 shows the foot of 60-year-old female private patient with type 2 diabetes and who developed an ulcer after minor trauma to the big toe. The big toe was secondarily infected, with erythema, swelling, and areas of necrosis and slough. The ulcer responded well to three months' treatment with systemic antibiotics and regular dressings. Choice of footwear is not optimum and the foot remains at risk of further episodes (figure 2).
