Injury on leg
My mother is 58 years old and she suffered from an injury on her left calf. We have consulted a doctor and started antibiotics and also applied ointment on the cut. But the injury is very painful and was oozing a little bit of pus. It has dried now but we are worried. Her diabetes reports are a bit abnormal. What should we do?

Visit a nearby physician for her diabetes control as non healing wound can be due to high blood sugar.
