Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these blisters that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully and this needs early attention for treatment. Having diabetes, every opening is a potential infection and needs aggressive management. This is because diabetes makes it easy t have wounds and makes their healing very difficult.
Th crispy and yellowish puddle on the floor means the liquid is most likely infected. This is the same reason for which we must manage it aggressively and quickly.
In all, this is s probable infection. With you having diabetes, immediate attention is needed for aggressive treatment. Antibiotics, wound care and good diabetes management would all be required.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
