[QUOTE="diabeticjan, post: 210342, member: 36469"] Hi there.....sorry I am a bit late with my reply. Don't worry it will heal, I too had four toes amputated on one foot and later on the other foot had a forefoot removal (all toes & bit of foot). The reason they leave it open and don't stitch it up is to allow it to heal from the bottom. If they closed it up you would be more prone to getting infection in it. It does look pretty awful when it has been done, but it is amazing how it all fills in again with healthy tissue. Takes a few months though. Just be patient. All the very best! diabeticjan [/QUOTE]
