Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a painful ulcer on my middle finger on my left hand which I cannot get to heal. Any tips? Sandy MCTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi Sandy, Use Duoderm (made by Convatec). It's a little patch of second skin which you put on, no creams, nothing underneath. It provides moist healing, is waterproof and you wear each patch for a week before removing and putting on a new one. It also helps protect your finger and helps with the pain.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 The ulcer on fingers is caused by poor circulation. your fingers don't get enough supply of blood to heal. try to take supplements that help with circulation like fresh garlic or other herbs. just google how to improve circulation. The other thing get an intensive hand massage. it helps with circulation. hope it helps. soheila From: Sandy Ball Decker <sandykayball@...> Subject: rheumatic digital ulcer rheumatic Date: Friday, January 23, 2009, 3:32 PM I have a painful ulcer on my middle finger on my left hand which I cannot get to heal.
