I’m a type 2 diabetic, diagnosed almost 5 years ago. For the past 2 months I’ve been getting a recurring sore between my pinky toe. It doesn’t look like an ulcer that diabetics get as it’s not very deep at all or round. It’s really pink, peels a little and can get itchy and a burning sensation. I also have some weird crumbly white stuff that comes off my pinky toenails. My heels of my feet are getting white, hard really dry feeling areas and my feet also ache sometimes especially the back of my heel, the Achilles’ tendon? It’s a very deep pain, it feels horrible. I have never had any foot problems so I don’t know what all this could be. Any ideas?

I would check with your doctor about the aching. And the sore could be athletes foot, but again, ask the doctor about it.

Hi @angelaJ90, As @lucylocket61 advises, please see your doctor, and also consider a podiatrist. Do not delay as we are all advised to look out for toe and foot problems and get onto any problems quickly.
