How Can Infection In The Sole Of The Foot Be Treated?

default
Posted on Wed, 31 May 2017
Question: My husband has had an infection on the bottom of his foot that has been treated by a foot doctor. We see him again this next week. The infection is gone but we continuing to put pads on daily and it still is sore as it is on the ballot his foot. His walking is limited. The last couple days when I change his bandage I notice that around the lesion, which is still slightly open, after over a month, is a green color (almost bright). At first I thought it was coming from his sock or shoe but neither are that color. What is causing that? Do you know?
