My sister lives in a very rural area of Mississippi. Her doctor has not been able to help her with this sore she has on her foot. She is desperate for a diagnosis so she can get this treated. She is in a lot of pain.
50 year old female. Tested negative for diabetes.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi Tami,
It is somewhat difficult to tell but I do not think it is a wart.
Whatever it is, it appears to be end-stage meaning it looks like it has dried out. If it originally had small blisters and was itchy, it was either a an eczema or perhaps athletes foot.
I assume there is no podiatrist or dermatologist close to where your sister lives as they would be the type of doctor to see.
She could try a combination of over the counter topical cortisone cream and antifungal cream mixed together for a period of at least ten days. If there is no improvement then she will have to travel to find a doctor who can make an accurate diagnosis by examining her, something I obviously cannot do.
