Rat bites are very common in India. Treat this ulcer as a Neuropathic ulcer at the tip of great toe on plantar aspect. There is a callus around the wound. Remove the callus by using 10 no. blade. The patient has severe neuropathy with claw toes. Watch his gait. He must be walking with the toes touching the ground and that is the reason for non healing wound for such a long time. Give him a metatarsal pad. Surgery like flexor tenotomy also can be offered. Proper Diabetic foot wear will help Off loading plays important role in healing of the Diabetic foot ulcer. You can dress him with hydrogel. And ofcourse control his blood sugar. Thanks for posting the case.
