Why Are The Sores Taking Much Time To Heal?
I think I might be a diabetic, I have tingling in my feet and some sores on my legs that r taking longer than normal to heal. I think the sores are some kind of bacterial infection because I have never had this before. I have been tested a couple of years ago, just wondering if stress can be the cause, in the last year I lost my childrens father and then my husband, my father and then my job.
