Hello...
Thanks for your Query.
However to give you a clear picture and provide a good management plan for your Dad, more details will be required including medical, personal, family history together with some clear pics of the affected area.
At 53, co morbidities and medications will also have to be taken into account.
Next Steps
An ONLINE INSTANT Consultation is your best recourse at the moment 🙏
Health Tips
Anti-inflammatory agent like Brufen (if no renal or diabetes issues) together with an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin-Tinnidazole combination may be helpful.
Dosages will depend on your Dad's body weight and other factors and a prescription will have to be written out
Avoid OTC products and home remedies 🙏
