dibetic toes with ulcers

i am having my toes worked on with ulcers, the doctor has been pulling dead skin off now she it graphing skin on them . every week she digs in that toe and pulls that skin that she put on the last week off. Does that make sense?Why put the new skin on if you going to take it off and put more on. for 8 times i got to do this.Do you think that is right. also she doesn't deading this toe. please help me understand.

Dear Ann

Please talk with your Doctor and other health professionals to find solutions together. Can you request a good food diet sheet also.

Kind wishes

Hi ann37888

It sounds that it is to stop infection with the previous skin. This is because it acts as a second dressing. I suggest that you continue treatment as I ended up having surgery to save my foot.

Hi Ann

Is the ulcer between your toes. eg little toe and the next toe?
