Can Gangrene Cause Foot Redness?

Hi I am Tanmay
I want to ask about my father's health.
i think he is diabetic from 14 years and 3 times he has suffered from gangrin type something. Its not actually gangrin. In this his foot becomes red in color and hot like a boiled potato.
So I would like to ask is there any possible cure for his problem?
Thanks

Diabetologist,  's  Response
dear madam I can understand your concern
in my opinion your father might be suffering from a infective condition called cellulitis
this is a treatable condition
by using antibiotics and good diabetes control
in many cases depending on severity of cases intra venous antibiotics should be given
gangren is a condition in which there will be death of tissue which turned black due to lack of blood supply or excessive infection
