It looks like the skin got infected (it called cellulitis). The cellulitis gets worse with uncontrolled sugar. You need to control the sugars tightly.
Regarding the cellulitis, you need to clean with normal saline. If the skin is open just saline gauze dressings will be fine. He must use good antibiotics until it heals completely.
