Suggest Remedy For Sores On Feet
My husband as type 2 Diabeties. He frequently has sores on his feet which eventually heal. However, we have been battling one at the meditarsal pad at the bottom of his big toe. He went to the Dr. last week and she perscribed Silver something cream (same stuff they prescribe for burns). It hasn t really helped. Anyway, I was wondering if there is anything that we could use to dry it out down in the bottom of the hole and also promote granulation and healing?

Hi,
As he is having diabetes, be careful about any infection.
But as he is having infection in the leg, diabetec foot condition is to be ruled put.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Go for proper dressing after cleaning.
If there is no improvement then consult diabetec foot specialist and get examined.
Keep diabetes under control.
Ok and take care.
