My mother has issue in her right leg toe as its swelling too much. She had some skin issue which is also persistent but has reduced to some extend. She has significant loss in apatite. Can someone please guide which specialty doctor we should refer. We had done her medical examination done for same reasons last year for kidney, blood test, xray etc. Fortunately all reports were normal. She is diabetic and has high BP issues.

It could be a hair line fracture or a twisted toe or a shoebite, common in diabetic patients, loss of appetite can again be due to several reasons, suggest you advise her to keep her blood sugar levels in control and also her BP, as it could be water retention too due to high BP, for any further information or assistance you may get back to us on an online consulting.
