Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think he should be tested by his diabetician immediately. I cannot comment without seeing the lesion. Maybe he has an infected lesion and this may grom if sugars are uncontrolled.

I would suggest you to get his sugars, urine routine and urine ketones be tested as soon as possible too, since he is refusing medications

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
