History of Present Illness:

Patient was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus in the year 2000. He

was then prescribed to take Metformin 500 mg tablet once a day as
his maintenance medication for diabetes. Two weeks prior to
admission, patient noted swelling and tenderness on his left leg
particularly the second digit of left foot.

A week prior to admission, patient was bitten by a mosquito at the

right anterior leg area, which he described as pruritic thus the
patient kept on scratching until he accidentally excoriated the
lesion. The lesion was noted to be erythematous with a central
ulceration measuring 2cmx3cm. It was also associated with swelling
and serous discharge. The patient self-medicated by placing
grounded amoxicillin tab directly to the wound with no relief of
symptoms noted. Condition was tolerated and so he didn't go for
consultation.

However, 3 days PTA, patient noted persistence of non-healing

wound at right leg, and the swelling and tenderness of the left foot
