dear madam I can understand your concern.
I am very sorry for your condition.
in my opinion the symptoms looks like Diabetic bulla.
this a diabetes related complication which is often seen in legs.
some times this bulla tend to get infected giving raise to swollen feet.
I suggest you to see a doc and consider taking antibiotics to stop the infection.
good diabetes control is very important to prevent such complications in future.
