According to your description, your husband is probably experiencing chronic bone infection (osteomyelitis). Osteomyelitis is a serious condition that requires long time (several months) treatment with antibiotics and, sometimes, surgical intervention. The bone won’t heal as long as there is infection present. Presence of diabetes makes the condition worse because people with diabetes have decreased ability to struggle with infections.


Ulcers on the foot can be due to prolonged physical pressure (decubitus) which can occur in patients that are immovable for long periods of time. Ulcers can also be due to disturbed blood circulation in the leg (ischemia or vein stasis) and diabetes. Even banal skin injury can be infected and turn into an ulcer because circulatory disorders and diabetes decreases the local skin immunity.


Local antiseptics, antibiotics, and treating the primary disorder are crucial for treating skin ulcers. There are many natural supplements that may have good impact on wound healing because of their local antibacterial activity. Tetrasil is one of them.
