This is with reference to my father. He is 82 years of age. He is a non diabetic patient and has developed right leg ulcer which is now reaching is feet. I have attached the picture of his wound for your reference. The problem started in year 2010 and he has been hospitalized atleast 5-6 times with same problem. The colour of his legs is discoloured and black as you see from the picture. The problem started in the year 2010 where his legs skin started peeling and became sensitive. It started with boil appearing on his leg which went on to becoming a wound. i have tried with vac therapy. Twice the debarment of the leg is done but it has not helped him. He is complaining of excessive pain and his feet is getting stuck like a gum. He is Parkinson patient. He has to take pain killers everyday likem voverna or enzoflam to give him releif. I am also attaching his bioposy report and culture test done very recently in october 2014. I have tried with baitain ag dressing, aqacel, cutimed sorbact. Onitment megaheal also was applied to the wound. Now we are dressing his wound with biatain non adhesive and biatain alginate which has helped to ooze out excessive water from the wound . Also if you can recommend any laser treatment which can be helpful and less painful Can you please advice whether the treatment for the wound can be done at your clinic along with skin grafting as he is non diabatic patient. Awaiting your response at the earliest.
