A member asked:

Hi doctors. how do i know where to bandage up my foot if i have nerve damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hmmm...: There's really no way to bandage your foot specifically FOR nerve damage. If you have a sore on your foot then you want to wrap the foot carefully, not too tight and change it twice a day. You may need to avoid bandaids if your skin is fragile or you have allergies to bandaids.
