Hello,
You are an elderly Diabetic.
All diabetics run a high risk of infection due to uncontrolled blood sugars and defective immune mechanism.
You are having infection of the perineal region which is called canned perineum.
Where in the are multiple oozing sinuses.
The recurrence rate is high due to the area is prone for infection for anatomical reasons.
Control of blood sugar, I.V antibiotics and good wound care is the need of the hour.
