Dear kindly mention the duration of diabetes and what about the sensation of foot is it there or not.The next part simple removing of pus will not heal the wound. you shoul meet your Diabetologist and take his advise on starting insulin because insulin improves his chance of healing with better diabetes Controll.kindly go for checking of Ankle Brachial index for checking of blood supply in his foot.in my option you should visit diabetic speciality center in which you can find a podiatrist or pediatric surgeon ......get back to me for further clarification
