Rooster with bumblefoot (yes, it's still there)

[Harun]

Hey, it's me, Harun. I haven't been on this platform for a while, but I just wanted to make an update in my rooster and his bumblefoot. It's gotten quite a bit worse, and I'm not sure what to do. His middle toe is super swollen, and I'm wondering if I should try and take it upon myself to try the nonsurgical DIY method of removing the kernel, and puss, or go to a professional. I've tried the nonsurgical procedure multiple times, but to no avail. Honestly, I'm afraid it might be too late, and we may need to take him to a professional, but let me know what you guys think. This is his bumble now:

You can try, and go to a professional if you don't get it taken care of. Have you tried soaking, softening, and removing the scab/core?
