Wound in foot
Hello,
My father is a diabetic since many years.He is suffering from some kind of woud near the ankle.Its been five months already he has been taking medicines.But the wound is better but the feet has been swollen up.There was itching before but now it is not as such.We are unable to know whether he needs a complete bed rest as he goes out .May be because of wearing shoes or shocks..the wound is not getting better.I need a direction /advise to solve this problem ASAP.Kindly suggest.
