His fingers and toes keep cracking and bleeding. He has an ointment and bandages to use. People have said to use Bag Balm (from the country store, for cow's udders) or Udder Cream (from the drug store). At bed time, he put Bag Balm hands- then a pair of clean socks, like his Onc nurse said to do. This morning they were better. My concern for both of you, and others with this problem, is that you stay free of infection. You should not enter a hospital or clinic with open wounds. There is a lot of MRSA and other nasty germs out there.Whidbey Womanhttp://ronsroad2recovery.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
