I forgot to coat the surrounding skin with vaseline
to protect it from corrosive drainage on this second time around. There
was far more pus and fluids pulled from the lesion this time, and it soaked
the bandaging and burned the surrounding skin which became raw and weepy.
I treated it with cortisone cream, and added vaseline as advised in the
instructions. This is the eschar with some light salve still coating the
top. |
