I'm really worried about my father-in-law's feet. Last month, he used a scrubber on them, and since then, he's developed these boil-like things on his skin. He's tried some meds, but they haven't worked, and now it's gotten worse. They're now like blisters, and there's some liquid coming out. The doctor said it's the first stage of gangrene. Do you think this can be treated with medication? What should we do next?
