Hi,
You seem to have ulcer following friction blister on the sole due to long time walk. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Blood test may be done to rule out DM. Still, I would suggest as follow..
- short course of antibiotics
- antiinflammatory drugs
- antibiotic cream or powder
- cleanse the area with savlon mixed water
- take bed rest
- avoid walking till total cure
I hope this would help you..
Thanks.
