Abstract

Skin changes in patients with diabetic foot (DF) are relatively common. The most frequent lesions feature papillae or cilia of various forms. The condition known as “verrucous skin lesions on the feet in diabetic neuropathy” (VSLDN) occurs in patients with distal diabetic sensorimotor neuropathy and is commonly located in places of high mechanical pressure. However, there is a scarcity of published data on the diagnosis and treatment of VSLDN. Our paper describes various types of VSLDN skin pathology, summarizes the diagnostic procedure options available, and documents the experience of our diabetic foot clinic in applying short-term VSLDN therapies as part of routine podiatric practice.
