Is a skin infection in a diabetic be treated with medications or surgery?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your question. I understand your concern. I have gone through the reports you have attached (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). The blood reports show that hemoglobin is slightly low. The urine report shows trace sugar. So, we have to rule out diabetes.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further doubts.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is high because of inflammation and infection. The type of surgery depends on the clinical examination. I suggest you consult a surgeon for more details. However, surgery is needed because the condition is not improving with antibiotics. For diabetes, I suggest getting an HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin test) done. If it is normal, there is no need to worry about trace sugar in the urine.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
