In this brief description of Charcot foot and diabetes, there is mention of neuropathic ulcers that resemble a "BB shot"

what does a BB shot look like?

What Dr. Charcot described was a "bag of bones" . The foot will be misshappen due to multiple mini-fractures. The neuropathy prevents the patient from feeling pain soon enough to get help before the foot gets misshappen. Have no idea what the BB shot is all about.
