Are you a native doctor, a spiritualist or a guessing man ?

This is not a fungal infection. He will need to be seen in a hospital

Pls more suggestions pls

God forbid... Pls go to a good medical lab for test, then a very nice herbalist for treatment...

Someone I know had this issue 1 year ago and he thought it was child’s play. He was applying different stuff on it to no avail. It spread and ate up most of his leg to his knee within 6 months.

Today he’s dead

That thing is spiritual, visit a herbalist or native doctor quickly if you love your life.

EDIT: all of you claiming ‘doctor’ saying hospital upandan must have forgotten that this is Nigeria. If you claim WOKE anyhow people dey wey ready to put you to SLEEP sharp sharp from una village

There’s a reason why Africans have native doctors and hospital doctors oh

Get gentamicin cream, drugfield product and be applying on it, but most importantly you need to see a doctor to determine the cause of the infection and the best anti biotics for for it.

Since he feels no pain, the nerve supply is compromised (He may actually have a peripheral arterial disease and neuropathy). Has he checked his sugar level? That case is not likely an isolated fungal infection.
Suggestion: He should check his blood sugar and do a lipid profile test. Infact, he should visit a good hospital for further checks.

Lemon or lime try to cover it

E be like this op go kpansh person wife..Or collect person babe..or e collect person wife..or e dey oppress person...

That thing is called calabar belt locally.If that person allow am spread round the leg, na die be that ooh.....

Hospitals don't treat it...Op just find any Akwa Ibom person wey know about am..When I say Akwa-ibom..I mean villager ooh..... Na them get the treatment because na their sickness...

That thing happened to my aunty wey go get belle for person boyfriend....Them stone her that thing....Na God save her if nor be for her Akwa-ibom neighbor wey quickly alert her...But e be like say you don go find person trouble...

Nairalanders make una avoid trouble ooh..humans wicked...

Is your friend waiting for someone to tell him or her to visit the hospital?
To even allow that to grow that big without any kind of treatment is unimaginable

Very likely. But he dey there dey call am fungus infection.

That is poison (ata). Stop using any modern treatment o. It's cured traditional way. The more you use modern medicine the more it spreads.

Grand pawpaw leaf and the seed and use it to cover it. Check for some days,if it did not shrink then look for a good herbalist to save your life .Thanks

Get him quickly to do test to establish exactly what the problem is. then he can receive appropriate advice from docs.

One of my paternal aunt had this stuff once, Omo she waste money for teaching hospital sotey na the doctor were been dey taken care of her advice am to go traditional for the matter.

Na from dey dem come tell her say na person for here working place knack am the jazz because dem dey give her unnecessary promotion, dem tell her say if to say she waste time small make the thing spread reach her ankle she for die. Na for dey dem give am 2 options;
1. Return the problem back to the owner and her leg heals in 2-3 months
2. Or the treat the wound gradually till it heals by it self which would likely take a year+

OP don't mind people telling you to go to the hospital because trust me, the hospital will refer you back to the traditionalist after milking enough money from you. Just keep about 200k+ and meet people to refer you to a good traditional healer.

Modified: I see a lot of people forming woke and calling folks referring OP to traditional healers illiterate. Okay let the OP go to the best teaching hospital and get treatments for 1 month and see if there will be any improvement, after which he can then go to a good traditional healer and also get treatments for 1 month let see which will be more effective.

Stupid dumb people calming woke, nonsense

You are smart. Unlike the other ignoramuses that were shouting "poison and herbalist."

That thing is most likely diabetic foot ulcer since he says he doesn't feel pain there.

@OP, you better take yourself to a teaching hospital first thing Monday morning. How old are you by the way?

Op we know that your friend is you.

Go to hospital or local healers.

Looks like diabetic foot ulcer... You will have to consistently reduce your sugar level to normal even if it involves using insulin for months... And possibly,dip the leg into saturated salt hot water that is cold.... Then use Mupirocin like bactroban for topical dressing
