I get conflicting advice, one is to use those gauzes impregnated with antibiotics, cover with Mepilex and leave the dressings for 2 days without disturbing it. (This was from a doctor)
then the radiology nurse says “No” and that I must pull back the Mepilex dressing and add MooGoo as often as I can each day, recommending 5x a day.
i feel that when I lift the dressing the only moisture there is the slough and it gets pulled away with the dressing, then because it looks so disgusting the last thing I want to do is slap cream on and put the yellow/green slimy dressing back on it.
What is the best way to look after this going forward, I don’t want any infections.
