Slow-healing sores need special respect because feet are easy to overlook, especially if eyesight, flexibility, or sensation is limited. A small blister, shoe rub, or cracked area between toes can become more serious when blood flow or sensation is reduced. Look at both feet in good light, compare color and temperature from side to side, and avoid assuming that a sore is improving just because it is not painful. Lack of pain can sometimes mean reduced sensation rather than low seriousness.
