Open wound on left foot thumb

2017-10-27 14:34:44
I've been having a open wound for last 4 years. Sometimes back it was ok but last few months it's again opened up. Shown to doctors at Apollo but no improvement. So all I do is clean it with hydrogen peroxide and betadine solutions and put ointment and bandage it.
