I have suffered with the above symptoms of the little girl for 1o years. I have diabetis and have been to around 50 doctors about the problem. They look at the sores and look puzzled. No one has ever suggested what I could do. I am now at the late stages and it has affected my feet on both legs. I feel like a freak and never can be seen without slacks on and long sleeve blouces. I really have given up. The black dot was the the item that made me jump for joy. Someone else does't think I'm crazy. There is never a day I don't want to go swimming and know I can't. Eevery spot of skin is affected wiuth a horrible dark redish raised rash and bumps that itch. I dig out the source from each sore and they keep returning until all ofe the black dots are gone. I am 75 years old and my retirement has not been anything but painful. What can I do to convince doctors to treat me.
