Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think my brother has an Ucler on his leg. He does not have insurance. He has had it for a couple years but now the smell is very strong to the point it is hard to be in the same room as him and fluid comes from his leg. Not sure of the color only see a wet spot after he leaves. The leg that has the ucler looks larger than the other leg. I got him to doctor a year or so ago they wanted him to go hospital but he would not because he did not have money to pay hospital bill. Is there anything I can do to help him?

That ulcer is infected and it should be debridemented as early as possible. You need to go to a surgeon and take his/her opinion. Does he have diabetes?
