Suggest Remedies For An Open Wound On The Medial Side Of Right Leg
My Dad has pedal edema. I have to put his socks on every Saturday or Sunday after he showers.HE only showers once a week. I noticed tonight that my Dad has an open wound on the medial side of his right leg. It s about 2 to 3 inches in length, and with him having an open wound before (cellulitis) on his left leg over a year ago, I am very concerned that this wound could go the same way.
