Brief Answer:
infection with cellulitis.needs antibiotic treatment to heal properly.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the appearance of skin with leaking water suggest there
is infection with cellulitis stage.

* In this condition, you need systemic antibiotic therapy ( as cephalosporin or other
group as per choice of your doctor ) in terms of tablets along with local part care.

* Control of blood sugar is also essential to prevent further spread of infection.

I would like to clarify further details as per your requirement, if possible with a photo picture of the sores in follow up conversation.

Wish you fine recovery.
Regards.
