Severe foot infection
My father aged 69 got a serious foot infection by scratching with nails which was filled with pus around 13 days back. The foot got swollen as well. He has this problem of itching and sometimes blood does come but never got this kind of infection before. He is on homeopathy medication but I am not sure about the kind of medicines.

Immediate treatment will prevent loss of function of the foot. The damage can extent and become widespread as the blood is not well circulated in our lower body at this age.
A rigorous treatment will prevent damage to internal tissues and prevent disability.
Keep track of recovery daily and change the doctor if the pace of recovery is slow.
