Diabetic patients are at increased risk for the development of infection and impaired wound healing. The precise underlying defect(s) continue to be a focus of research; however, it is generally agreed that improved glycemic control plays a significant role in lowering the risk of wound healing complications.

Please consult your physician so this situation can properly treated.
