A member asked:
What's the best thing for ulcers? salt water or medicated creams/gels such as bonjela?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salt water rinse: I don't think bonjela is available in the us. There are different causes for ulcers but my first choice for an undiagnosed ulcer would be salt water rinses.
