Hi welcome to HCM
Infection that too foot infection in diabetics should be considered very seriously else it may lead to gangrene.
I afvise you to consult a physician as early as your infection requires proper antibiotic treatment and may even require pus drainage.
Also ask your doctor to send pus for culture sensitivity test and use antibiotic ad per the report.
