I was detected with glucose irregularities. I took Metformin for some time, but then I had discontinued it. Now, I take herbal medication to control sugar levels. However, recently I got carbuncles on my leg. I am planning to take liv 52.
Suggest treatment please.

Older age, obesity, poor hygiene, and poor overall health are associated with carbuncles. Other risk factors for carbuncles include:
-
* Chronic skin conditions, which damage the skin's protective barrier
* Diabetes
* Kidney disease
* Liver disease
* Any condition or treatment that weakens the immune system
Carbuncles also can occur in otherwise healthy, fit, younger people, especially those who live together in group settings such as college dorms and share items such as bed linens, towels, or clothing. In addition, people of any age can develop carbuncles from irritations or abrasions to the skin surface caused by tight clothing, shaving, or insect bites, especially in body areas with heavy perspiration.
For larger boils and carbuncles, treatment may include:
Incision and drainage. Your doctor may drain a large boil or carbuncle by making an incision in it. ...
Antibiotics. Sometimes your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help heal severe or recurrent infections.
Check your blood sugar daily till the ulcer is healed.
