Can mercurochrome be used for diabetic ulcers?
11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Mercurochrome: Isn't recommended any more since it doesn't really work as a topical antiseptic. Check w/your doctor for a full evaluation and other possibilities.

Mercurochrome: Is obsolete - there are many better products available now for wound care, including diabetic ulcers. See a wound care expert for a recommendation.
