control your sugar, keep it at less than 110 fasting & less than 200 after food, HbA1C less than 7 %, urinalysis for sugar, consult your family doctor for physical examination, he would prescribe a good anti bacterial cream e.g; nadifloxacin once a day topically & a good antibiotic e.g; amoxicillin +clavanic acid , take bath twice a day, take full course of antibiotic. take care.
