Thank you for your response doctor. I have attached a few pics of the wound on my mom's hand. You will also see the skin reaction apart from the wound. I have also attached the bloodwork report. Looks like the ESR value is a little off range.
Please review the reports and let us know the next steps.
Also are there any natural home remedies to reduce ESR levels?
Thanks for your time, XXXXXXX N

Hello
Thanks for the follow up and photographs.
The only abnormality in blood work up is raised ESR.
Raised ESR is a marker of chronic disease.
The skin lesions are looking like abscess.
There is a possibility of cutaneous tuberculosis or an underlying chronic disease.
Please get her ultrasound abdomen and chest X-ray done.
Also get a biopsy done from skin lesion.
This will help in finding the exact cause.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
