Cellulitis
It is "Diabetic foot infection" Requires immediate admission and Foot Exploration. During the procedure all the devitalised tissue will be debrided. The debridement will help achieve good sugar control. This needs to be followed by an angiography to see the flow. Depending on the flow in distal vessels decision will be taken regarding the level of amputation.
