Will Zinc Help In Healing After A Spiradenoma Cancer Surgery?
I am 70 yrs old and have a spiradenoma cancer on my head which was removed twice . The second operation is not healing as well as the first operation. I have a home care nurse who comes in every day to change the dressing. What I would like to know if taking zinc would help me heal faster. I am on warfarin.

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
I dont htink that zinc can help in these conditioon and there is no proof that it can faciliatet healing. however it cant harm you and any proved supplements can only be beneficial. But dont expect some miracle. The most important thing for wound sis to prevent infection and have frequent dressings changes.
Wish you good health. Regards.
