Hello,

His situation seems to be serious and the topical ointments are not effective. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a surgeon for a physical exam and discussing about surgery as a definite solution to his problem.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
