I. I have psoriasis along with diabetes. a couple of days ago I noticed a spot on the top of my foot. it was irritated by my boot rubbing on it. now my foot is swelling up. and my foot is turning colors and I can t put any weight on it.. what can I do to help this pain. I would have gone to the ER by now but I don t have any insurance. any help would be appreciated

hi
i want to know whether your diabetes is under control or not.
If it is, make sure the wound / spot on your feet doesnt increase because there can be delayed wound healing.
Take antibiotics for the swelling to prevent any infection
Tab. TAXIM-o twice a day (morn and night )
Tab. Pan 40 twice a day before food
Tab. Zerodol three times
takes these medications for 5 days and follow up
