Mary, It is strange but I have been experiencing a similar problem which I hadn't directly linked to PD (until now). I am wheelchair bound and I tied it to decreased circulation from the pressure on the back of my leg. Since it began as athletes foot and gradually developed into an ulcer about 8 months ago I have been treated with multiple antibiotics and it developed into a cellulitis twice necessitatating hospiitalization and almost requiring me to cancel a trip to Japan for my son's wedding. It now after about 8 months it has begun to heal. I would be interested in exchanging more info incuding pictures of the lesions Charles T Meyer, MD DX 1989 at age 44 Member of Liet since 1997 approx ---- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Yost" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2007 11:15 PM Subject: Odd Open Wounds To: [log in to unmask] > Has anyone had any experience with open wounds on the tops of your > feet?
