Hello, there are two primary causes of blister formation on the feet of diabetic patients:
1. Poor lower-limb circulation leading to dorsalis pedis artery occlusion—commonly associated with peripheral vascular disease;
2. Fungal infection of the feet.
It is recommended that patients apply anti-inflammatory topical ointments under the guidance of a physician. Diabetic patients should maintain optimal glycemic control and follow a balanced diet to prevent severe complications.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
