Suggest Treatment For Recurring Pimple-like Blisters On Foot While Having Diabetes

My regular medication: Diabetes Type 2 / Metformin 2000mg / Lantus (Insulin) / Ramopril A pimple-like blister formed on my right foot, and was treated with Amoxicillin (which was very hard on my stomach) and was switched to Fucidin (2%). This seemed to have a positive effect in curing the spot. Now it seems to be reforming. Also, possibly related, have been treated within the last 2 weeks for possible kidney infection with Ciprofloxacin 500mg (2 tabs a day for 7 days) I missed a few doses, but am now complete the regimen. The associated pain seems 99% gone. Also, minor cold sores on the mouth and tongue (minuscule on the tongue - seems gone now), and right eye is teary and feels like the tear duct / sinus is a little inflamed. Currently looking for a local physican. Have an Endochronologist, and am connected with a Diabetes clinic though.

Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Diabetes mellitus increases the infection rate and decreases the rate of healing. I suggest you to get your blood glucose level checked. If the blood glucose level is not under control then you need to consult your diabeteologist to change medication. In addition, lifestyle modification like exercise and healthy balanced diet need to be included.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
