Suggest Medicine For Brown Spot On Bottom Of Foot In Diabetes
I am 15 and diabetic I was put on birth control a month ago and wasn t told it would affect my diabetes so my sugar has been in the three hundreds or higher. Plus to top that I walk around everywhere bare foot with socks on only always have I know I shouldn t. But today I took off my sock from last night and there it was a big brown spot on the bottom of my foot. I tried washing it and everything thinking I steeped in something but nope it wont come off for anything. I have no clue what it is help please im freaking out.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Oral contraceptive pills whether the combined pills or the progesterone only pills do not commonly cause a change in blood sugar level control.
The spot may indicate an area of trauma on the foot. You need to have your parent or guardian take you to your doctor for assessment both of the foot and the high blood sugar readings.
It is quite possible that there is nothing serious with the foot but it needs to be assessed.
Your insulin levels need to be adjusted for better control.
I hope this helps
