The photo depicts a close-up view of a diabetic ulcer on the bottom of a foot, highlighting the severe effects of neuropathy. The ulcer appears as an open sore with a reddish, inflamed border and a central area of tissue breakdown. Surrounding the ulcer, the skin is discolored, showing patches of darkened, calloused skin, indicative of poor blood circulation. The foot also shows signs of swelling and dryness. The toes and surrounding areas may have a lack of hair growth, another sign of diminished blood flow. The overall appearance emphasizes the importance of proper diabetic foot care and the serious complications that can arise from neuropathy.
