The costs associated with Pyoderma can add up really fast. I live in NYC and the items that I need can't be purchased at Duane Reade or Walgreens. I find myself going to a medical supply store to get the things that I need. The type, size and quantity of what ever I need can usually be found here.
To save money I purchase most of my supplies from online merchants. The price differences can be unbelievable, even more so since I'm forced to pay 'NYC prices'. For example, the Telfa pads that use are about $24 a box at the local spot but less than $13 online. I figure that I go through $35 worth of supplies a week. This is represented by gauze, tapes, wraps, nonstick pads, saline wash and etc. This of course doesn't include any medications that I may be taking.
