Suffering From Sore Feet

I have a friend who suffers with sore feet she keeps breaking out with pus between her and her sole of her foot. Dr.s have not been able to diagnose her with a condition therefore hasn t receive treatment, except for gabpenton and Tylenol threes. These pills are not helping her at all, her brother had this years before, and told her that he had to have laser done to the bottoms of his feet. these drs are just making my friend addicted to these pills. they say she has these because of her diabetes.
