Compounded nitro: This gentleman should definitely pursue gastroenterology and general surgery consultations to rule out colitis and other associated GI disease. Topical application of 0.2% nitroglycerin ointment may help recruit vascular supply to the area. Of course, diabetes growth hormone deficiency carcinoma and AIDS should be ruled out as causes of delayed healing.
