Hello sir I am from west bengal. My mother has been suffering from leg ulcer from past three years. Her leg pains, sometimes blood and sometimes fluid comes out and foul smell comes out little bit. We first used a tbact ointment recommended by the doctor which cured her but not fully. So later on we changed the doctor and the new doctor recommended to use hydroheal ointment but now the condition of ulcer has become worse. It detoriated instead of getting cured after using hydroheal ointment. So kindly suggest us what to do?

It seems like a chronic non-healing ulcer. I suggest you to get a biopsy done to rule out couple of causes. Meanwhile you can keep the ulcer clean, elevate limb, do a simple betadine dressing and take a short course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. If possible kindly upload a picture of the ulcer. Kindly make a personal consultation to me regarding the specific medication and surgical opinion.
