My mother has developed toe corn on the left foot in March 2011 which she was not aware of it basically because she is borderline diabetes and suffering from multiple ailments like arthrities, parkinson and hypertension which she is on medication. The foot has developed a deep hole which debriding was done by surgeon in May 2011 and ointment given. Till now the toe would is not healed which the Dr. said it will take one months time to heal after the surgery. Till date the would is not healed. I am using Betadine solution for cleaning and applying two ointments one is antibiotic and another one is antibacterial and covering the wound with sterile gauge. Please help?
