Re: absess

["Barbara McCrary" <bigcreekranch@cruzio.com>]

I think I like Jim Holland's answer better than my first one.  I have used
7% iodine, but I think Ichthamol would be better, as it is (as Jim said) a
drawing salve.  I don't feel that twice a day change is necessary, unless
the foot is showing infection.  But it certainly wouldn't hurt to change
more frequently than my suggestion of every two days.
