Merkel cell cancer treatments when the wound bust open

Posted by myhearthurts @myhearthurts, Jan 7 9:12pm

Is there anyone that has experienced a wound from Merkel cell that stretches, and bust open and bleeds . What is it that you use to ease the pain while the skin is stretching to the point it’s so painful is there something that works ? It is really going to bust soon.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Melanoma & Skin Cancer Support Group.

Oh that sounds miserable and painful. I'm tagging other merkel cell members like @rogermcintire @mkhighpoint @lynn99 @cindylyte @mktz49 to see if they have had similar experiences or any tips to offer.

@myhearthurts, has the wound healed in the meantime? Did you find something to ease the pain?

I am glad that you have found something to help with the pain, @myhearthurts. Have you had surgery or any other treatment?
