Any stinging I may have felt over the last few weeks has pretty much gone away. As the pic illustrates, the ulcer hasn't healed much at all considering the increase of Prednisone. I'm getting some bad side effects, bloating, weight gain, moon face, all the good ones. It really sucks.
The pic also shows some dead tissue that seems to be hanging around waiting for debridement. The best way to gently clean the area is using a soaked paper towel and warm water with some hydrogen peroxide. This mixture is almost painless and gently eats away dead tissues or dried blood with ease. After a 20 minute soaking the ulcer is almost squeaky clean.
