A member asked:
Are there any care centers that will administer bcg (surgery and chemo not options) and care for an infectious non-healing wound? need help!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BCG?: Practicing medicine in the us, bcg is not given; you may be referring to a tuberculin skin test. The infectious non-healing wound will require additional studies to determine its cause. In both cases, a referral to an infectious diseases specialist is appropriate. Both issues can be addressed directly by the id doctor.
