“Individuals who can’t feel their feet also can’t feel when they have an injury, callus, or sore,” said Lawrence DiDomenico, DPM, who treats patients at NOMS Ankle & Foot Care Centers in Boardman, Youngstown, and East Liverpool. “Oftentimes, when left untreated, these conditions worsen and may turn into open wounds, leading to infection.”

“We advise patients with diabetes or those at risk to do daily foot exams and schedule checkups by a podiatrist at least twice a year to prevent ulcers, corns, calluses, or more severe conditions,” Dr. DiDomenico said.
