Hello. Welcome to HCM.

I am Dr Jigar(ID Specialist).

I understand your concern. It appears to be infected foot mostly due to some injury.

As foot has specialised structures sieved by many layers infection in such areas need proper incision and drainage. Otherwise it will reappear.

Also this pus must be sent for culture and sensitivity report which will give clue regarding infecting organism and effective drug that can be used. So consult expert and go accordingly.

I hope this will help you take further steps.

Regards.
Dr Jigar.
