AB  - A  48-year-old  woman  with  diabetes  and  mild  sensory  neuropathy  presented  with  multiple  calluses  on  the  plantar  feet  (Figure  216-1).  Most  notably,  the  callus  under  the  left  hallux  was  hemorrhagic.  Sharp  debridement  of  the  calluses  was  performed,  and  accommodating  foot  inserts  to  reduce  pressure  and  friction  on  these  calluses  were  dispensed.  The  patient  walked  out  of  the  office  with  less  pain  and  discomfort.  She  was  instructed  to  watch  out  for  hemorrhagic  calluses,  as  they  can  have  an  underlying  ulcer.  One  important  goal,  especially  in  a  neuropathic  patient,  is  to  avoid  such  an  ulcer  (Figure  216-2),  which  occurred  in  another  patient  who  did  not  get  care  for  his  callus  in  a  timely  manner.
