This is a case of Non Diabetic Cellulitis Rt Foot and Ankle. Basic investigations FPG 2hr PG HbA1c RFT Serum Electrolytes X Ray Foot AP & Lateral view to r/o Osteomyelitis. Vascular Doppler to assess Arterial supply. C/S pus or Discharge. CBP, ESR. Surgeon's intervention is mandatory. Treatment Admission is mandatory Absolute bed rest Foot end elevation Meticulous Wound Debridement. Liberal Fasciotomies. Appropriate Antibiotics Against Gram positive Gram negative Aenarobes. Daily wound dressings. Should be done under the supervision of General Surgeon.
Unilateral pedal edema - cellulitis - please rule out filariasis too. I can see an ulcer in the medial lower third - could be post infective also. However I feel she needs early decompression with a fasciotomy under appropriate anesthesia.
Cellulitis rt leg. exclude dm local infection. systemic desease. rx accordingly nsaids broad spectrum antibiotics. specific tt accordingly. ..surgical procedures if abscess formation. ..
