The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\nWhat strength does the drug need to be in order to make the infection better? How frequently does the drug need to be applied in order to make the infection better? Participants will be asked to apply the medicine on their foot ulcer twice a day for 2 weeks and remain off of that foot during that time.\n\nParticipants will receive the medication either once a day or twice a day, in either a 5% or 10% gel, or placebo.\n\nResearchers will compare the 5% and 10% gels to placebo to see if the infection improves.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 1\\.
