A blister can form, for example, due to badly fitted shoes; this can continually be irritated without any recognition.

As a result, the blister can develop into an ulcer – still unbeknown to the person with peripheral neuropathy – that can become infected.

Gangrene – the death of body tissue – could then occur, which typically starts in the toes.

This is why it’s important to have regular health check-ups at the GP’s clinic and to keep an eye on your feet if you have the condition.
