Continuous wounds on leg for diabetic

2018-10-20 04:12:46
My dad is having continuous wounds with puss on his leg below knees around ankle. By the time one is gone other comes up. Fresh one starts with pimple type with puss and eventually turns into wound. He is a diabetic but it is in control. Need suggestions to which doctor I should take him. To dermatologist or to a diabetic doctor?
