A member asked:
I have a leg ulcer and my nurse used fucidin intertulle to dress it but its very painful, should i leave the net in or remove it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remove: Clean with mild soap and water. Elevate leg as much as possible, elevate foot of your bed. Use adaptic or other no stick gauze on ulcer under ace wrap or pressure stocking and see md- vascular surgeon or wound clinic. Potential serious issue.
