It looks badly infected , It needs proper dressing and oral medicines best way to consult doctor and dressing has to be done by qualified doctor or staff.
If it is old wound then need to do some investigations to rule out underlying cause like High blood sugar or varicose veins etc.
U can also take help of homoeopathic medicines if it is old wound. Consult with qualified Homoeopathic doctor.
