There are four main types of diabetic neuropathies. You may have one or more types of neuropathy. Symptoms depend on the type you have and the nerves affected. Symptoms usually appear progressively. You may not notice that something is wrong until considerable nerve damage has occurred.
This type of neuropathy may also be called distal symmetric peripheral neuropathy. It is the most common type of diabetic neuropathy. It affects the feet and legs first, followed by the hands and arms. The signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy usually worsen at night. Among them are the following:
Lymphedema is swelling in an arm or leg. In exceptional circumstances, it affects both arms or both legs. It can also affect the chest wall and abdomen.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you notice persistent swelling in your arms or legs. If you have already been diagnosed with lymphedema, see your doctor if there is a sudden and drastic increase in the size of the affected limb.
Signs and symptoms of lymphedema include:
What are bunions?
A relatively common but annoying and unattractive malformation are the famous bunions of the feet. For them, we have a bunion surgery service, a procedure known as a “bunionectomy,” which aims to realign the toe and remove the bony protuberance.
Bunions tend to occur more frequently in women than in men, and in people with abnormal bones from birth, so the problem can be hereditary, but not impossible to correct for Dr. Gustavo, specialist in diabetic foot, Vascular Surgery, Endovascular, Circulation Diseases and Varicose Veins Tijuana. Request a consultation and find out which option is best for you.
It is also known as a soft callus and usually appears on the sole of the foot, generally between the fourth and fifth toes. If you notice a small, calloused, swollen bump that causes pain.

When the edge of a nail digs into the skin of the toe, it can cause inflammation, pain, and discomfort when walking or wearing certain shoes. And if it is not attended to, it can cause infection.
This condition is relatively common among people who engage in activities such as athletic running or dancing, but it is easy to treat if you see a specialist doctor.
Nail fungus is also known as onychomycosis and consists of the appearance of organisms called dermatophytes and yeasts that thicken the nail, change its color and weaken it, until detaching it, in severe cases, completely from the foot.
They can affect both the nail and the skin underneath it. A fungal infection is easy to recognize with the naked eye. Cultures are not required for diagnosis. In cases of onychomycosis, the nail usually has yellow and/or white stripes, a result of debris that accumulates under or around the nail.
It is important to solve it, because in addition to aesthetic problems, its appearance can sensitize the area, cause pain, and consequently, affect the daily activities of those who have the problem.
If the nails do not heal, the fungus can spread to other nails, and even go beyond them. Beyond the appearance they take, healthy nails are an indication of good health. Dr. Gustavo has the treatment that best suits you.
