Having Pus On My Leg And Knee. Suggestions
I was wondering if someone has untreated chf and it has gotten to the point of a softball size, 2" deep sore with puss on her leg, and the leg from the knee down is black. How much longer can they survive like this? And if she does go to dr. is it too late? Also she hasnt been diagnosed with chf but this is what our research has found. Thank you

Hi,
I suppose that you meant congestive heart failure (chf).It should not be left untreated.
You need to consult cardiologist and start treatment for same.
Blackening of leg from the knee down indicates decrease blood supply leading to gangrene,hence cardiothoracic surgeon also to be seen
Hope this will help you
