Hi,
Infection and inflammation is same thing.There might be having possibility of having some vascular insufficiency causing this problem.
In diabetecs this condition is common.
Rule out diabetes and vascular insufficiency in leg.
Consult physician and get examined.
Ok and take care.
Meanwhile clean local part with Betadine lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
