Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will like to follow up with you after this. Generic treatment will ensure that he avoids walking on these sores and cleanse the sores daily by way of soaking the legs in lukewarm water containing an antiseptic lotion/solution such as iodine. If there is fear of an infection, antibiotics would be recommended. Pains would be unlikely given the fact that he has neuropathy. But, there are always pain medications if need be.

I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me as appropriate.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
