Will There Be Any Further Issue With The Swelled Pus Under My Father S Palm?

My father is a diabetic patient from an year or so. Last week we happened to see a small swell under his right palm which turned into pus. We consulted an rep nearby and he suggested some medicines. The wound seems to be gone but I want to know if there can be any further issues.

Hello,

Probably it was an abscess. But rarely it may be some blistering disorder. So if it comes back please visit a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
