Diabetic Foot Pain – Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Toenail Change

Advanced damages caused by diabetic foot pain to the autonomic nerves of your feet would lead to some toenail changes. These parts might become brittle and crumble, making them look like fungal infections. Also, the skin around might become flaky, scaly, or dry due to a lack of moisture. In addition, the skin texture might change and look shinier or smoother than usual. Since this is quite an obvious symptom, keep in mind to consult your doctor or healthcare provider immediately to get early treatments. [4]
