 This ulcer on the left lower limb needs to be dressed. First, clean the surrounding skin of the ulcer with alcohol soaked gauze and then dab the base of the ulcer with saline soaked gauze. You need to be gentle with the tissues as you do this. Avoid using caustic reagents like boric acid solutions. Apply a piece of Vaseline gauze. This will prevent the gauze, dry gauze from sticking to the base of the ulcer. And then apply lots of dry gauze on top. Now you are ready to put your crepe bandage on. On the lower limbs, be careful to avoid the toes so that when there is edema, you will be able to notice it.
