Suggest A Remedy For Infected, Pus Filled Wound In Foot

I have had a wound on my right foot for two and a Belafonte that will not heal. It has gotten infected once and I was prescribed antibiotics, however, it only got marginally better. Now it is filled with pus again and getting larger. I am NOT diabetic, so I know that s not the problem. I am unsure of what to do now? Also, i am cleaning, peroxide rinsing, and brandishing it daily with antibiotic ointment, but it seems to do nothing.

Hi,
As you are not having diabetes and having non healing ulcer shows that you require proper cleaning and proper dressing.
Consult your doctor and and let him do the proper dressing.
Dressing requires proper cleaning and removing of slough and debris from wound then proper healing will take place.
Ok and take care.
