Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A chronic ulcer on the foot needs broad spectrum antibiotics after a tissue culture and wound margin biopsy to detect the type of wound and the infection. Regular dressing with hydrogen peroxide will also be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
