Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your father got injured and has oozing wounds . You should apply lidocaine and povidine iodine ointment for pain relief and to prevent infection . You can also give ibuprofen for pain relief. Antibiotics should also be given to prevent infection as he is diabetic.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful.
