Suggest Methods To Clean Wet Gangrene In A 90 Year Old Man
How do you clean wet gangrene? My 90 year old father is awaiting an Angiogram and he has dry gangrene and wet gangrene forming in his toes. I have been dabbing on hydrogen peroxide and he has been given an antibiotic, but I think the green pus should possibly be removed. Your thoughts are appreciated.
