The diabetic foot ulcer that cost Otis Dahmer one of his little toes began with what appeared to be nothing more than dry, flaking skin.
Not being “much of a moisturizer guy,” Dahmer said, he didn’t give the skin much attention. He kept working on his feet, 10 or 11 hours a day, as a union electrician on an out-of-state job.
He later noticed an open spot, like a sore, wasn’t healing.
Dahmer, (pronounced day-mer), figured the location made it hard to heal, His feet aren’t too sensitive to pain, so he put off seeing a doctor.
“I probably went three weeks, until I couldn’t walk on it anymore,” he said.
