Part of my usual routine is that after I shower I let my leg 'dry out'. Prior to bandaging my leg for the day I cover my ulcer with a topical steroid. If still damp, the steroid lotion wont stick to my skin. I noticed the other day that while i was watching TV waiting for my leg to dry, I began to sense a sting. Over the last few days it has become more so.unfortunately this pic show that I have some flare ups coming in around the lower edge. This stings. The next time I go to the dermatologist, I'm sure I'll be getting a shot.
Looks painful, Anakreon. My kidneys weren't happy about it, but Neoral (Cyclosporin) was the only Rx that reduced the inflammation when my PG looked like that. A topical that was helpful was 2 capsules of prograf mixed in a dab of Orabase. Spread on thin. I'm sure the shot will give you some relief.
