Hi ! Staph infection are common on the skin surfaces specially if there is a breach in the continuity of the skin (an ulcer). If the infection is not getting controlled with a local application, then an oral antibiotic has to be added. I would also advise your son to have a blood sugar test done as a routine, and give much importance to personal which he must be doing. Wishing him an early recovery.
