When remedies have to remain moist, should not leak, what means work? Especially if frequent use may be necessary: that is, while avoiding making normal skin raw in removing the means(tapes,etc.). I have been thinking about taping(or the like) screw-on cap or snug-in lid over the lesion to avoid removing tape too often: such a wide opening would allow cleaning out used remedy, etc.. Aside from all this, are there resources I have not found that allow seeing what you are doing in dealing with lesions near ear canals: rigging up a camera or 2-3 mirrors, hands-free, and practicing is possible, but there may be limits?

One of the best ways to keep a wound that is hard to keep covered moist is with a mixture of Bees wax and olive oil. You can make your own or there are some salves you can buy. The one I have had the best success with is $20 for a small 4 oz round tin . It's called chickweed healing salve

IMO $20 plus $5 shipping is pretty steep for something that probably cost @ $3 to make...but then again I'm one who is willing to do a little work to save a buck or two.
Though many people had great things happen with this, I haven't in regards to any of my skin cancer other than it being a great protectant on uncoverable wounds. I did have some flaky, itchy, rash type thing going on on my shins and this stuff knocked it out beautifully.
Bee's wax is the "bee's knees" for a moisturizing, antibacterial substance.
I now make my own in a double boiler system...just 1 part bees wax @ 4 parts olive or coc0nut oil If it is to hard I just remelt and add a little more oil..
Works fantastic for keeping my wounds moist and un infected..
Good Luck! |
