Wounds in leg with small ruptures
Dear doctor,
Hello, My father is having diabetes at 250 ppbs since 3-5 months constant.
He has started getting small skin ruptures on his left foot which is painful and bleeds sometimes, I've attached a photo below.
He is taking Tbact ointment along with diabetes tablets but I don't know if he needs anything else.
He also has radiating pain from thigh to foot which is high at night. Any help on this please. Should I try other ointment or tablet or any physiotherapy ?
Kindly suggest.

Consult a Diabetologist to change diabetes medicines for a good control. Offload this foot - no pressure on it. Regular dressing and antibiotics should help
