Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. In your info there is no mention of the place where you are staying (town/city). It is best to visit any experienced surgeon or surgical hospital for initial treatment. Bets is to consult a Diabeteic Foot specialist in the aera. Later based on his advice further treatment should be carried out. First and foremost is to achieve a strict blood glucose control, otherwise healing becomes a problem. Plus proper debridment is also needed. Thanks.
