a relative has this condition in his legs and has started having abcesses and blisters on his heels and shins any advice please.
All that I can recommend is that a referral to a chiropodist is the best course of action, but in the meantime book an appointment with the practice nurse to clean and dress them.

If your relative as yet hasn't seen their doctor they should do so as soon as they can, as the tissue viability nurses need to be involved to ensure the correct dressings are used and applied correctly.
