Hi
Since your husband has developed a chronic infective skin wound, I would advise you to see a good nearby dermatologist . A proper management of the wound is essential . A pus culture with sensitivity will guide about the antibiotics to be given.
Since oral antibiotics have not helped much, iv antibiotics may also be required according to the skin condition.
