Hello my name is Freeman. I'm a diabetic type 2 insulin dependent. I took lantus for years. Now they got me on levemir. I lost my left leg on 6-12-14 diabetes in a work-related accident. I have a partial right foot. I have a foot feeler on right side and i just got my artificial leg for left side last Wednesday. It's been really hard, Now I got these spots coming up on my head, crater like, 3 for now on the top center, front center, left center. They won't pop. Hurts something bad. I'm afraid to go in hospital. I think its either cancer or infection trying to leak out thru head. Can anyone give me advise or pics plz help.

Dear Freeman,
I would try activated charcoal poultices. They help with pain and can draw out infection.
You should be able to get activated charcoal powder at a health food store or online. It is easiest to work with if you get ground flax seed to mix with it. You can apply the poultices overnight each night and see how it does.
Here is a link to show you how to make the poultices:
