I've had an ulcerated Leg wound since May, and I've leard a BUNCH about wound infection control - I've been on 3 differnt antibiotics (currently on 2 different ones at the same time), but they also doa LOT of topical infection control. You tend to develop what is called a "biofilm" - a micture of infection and othe bacteria and "stuff" on the wound that makes it VERY hard to regranulate.

One of the techniques used to heal you are "wet to dry" bandages - they soak a bandage in a solution, it's put on the wound, and let to dry out (this only works if the wound isn't oozing too much). The solution in my case is called "Dakin's Solution"

What is Dakin's? BLEACH!! .5% Sodium Hypochloride plus a bit of baking Soda. And yes, depending on the state of your wound, it can hurt, a LOT (why do you think I'm up at 3:00am - I'm waiting for 3:30am to take my pain killers - and today is a medium day)

There is a lot of Alginate bandages used - many bearing silver in various dosages ($60 per 4x4 pad - figre 2 pads at a time, changed as much as 2x/day if your oozing a lot, as little as once per 4 days once you start healing)

As you can guess, I've been a TAD paranoid about MRSA, but the big trick in this is to prevent it from getting started
