Wound care: Wound has healed, but skin around breaking down

Wow, I wonder too. Especially since he’s been recovering and then out of the blue he’s having that severe stinging and burning! Sends up a red flag, doesn’t it? Since his leg is looking so much better, plain soap and water might be all that is needed for cleansing, since it’s bandaged anyway.
So yes, I’d follow the dermatologist suggestion of a really mild soap.
Examples are Dove Sensitive Skin Bar,
(I had to use Basis Sensitive Skin Bar in the hospital)
Oil of Olay facial cleanser, Cetaphil Cleanser and Aveenobar are all very gentle.
The poor guy, and you too, must be getting so frustrated over how long this is taking. I’m sure you can’t wait until life gets back to normal and isn’t focused on his leg! Is he able to work and get around ok?

He had to retire due to being elected off a tugger at work and breaking his hip last January. That was another nightmare. He was raken to a lical hospital where he was kept outside the ER on a gurney for 31 hours without food or water or pain meds I was finally able to get him transported to Emory which was a 3 hout drive without any pain meds. He had hip surgery developed a DVT which went to his lung and was in ICU for 2 weeks. He can get around but not very well at all.
