Foot dark spots
Hello, so I'm worried about these dark spots on my foot where my calulces are. I researched that this is a sign of diabetes so I'm very worried. However, since January I've been standing for a large period of time and I would pick at the calulce. Is this a diabetic dermatologic symptom of diabetes or is it the bruising (not painful) from me walking and standing a lot?

It would be helpful if you could post a picture. Diabetes has many other symptoms like weight loss, frequent urination, hunger, infections which take longer time to heal. Do not worry if you don't have above mentioned symptoms.
