Hi,
You seem to have diabetic bulla. Rupture the bulla. Remove the serous or purulent fluid from it. Do not remove the skin. Clean with hydrogen peroxide liquid. Apply antibiotic like gentamicin.
Take an oral antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs after consulting the nearby doctor. Continue antidiabetic treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
