<s>[INST] Yes, I have a very painful foot ulcer. I would like some help in home treatments at home.I am wearing the compression stockings, i do elevate my leg when possible. I am putting antibotic ointment on. nothing is giving me relief from pain. Do you have some extra help for me ? Thank-you charlene [/INST] **1. If nothing is giving relief probably infection has occurred in the ulcer, firstly make a Surgical appointment who will go for necessary examination and tests for any presence of Abscess, any spreading infection [cellulitis], or some bone infection or compromised blood circulation, and will check for blood sugar level and/or other immune compromised state and then will prescribe medicine according to the tests conducted and examination done.2. Avoid walking barefoot, wash the feet daily, Chat Doctor.  Don't wait to treat a foot or skin problem. Follow your doctors guidelines. </s>
