Re: Oxaliplatin - sore feet problem

[Guest guest]

Oh how terrible for poor Mike to have this too. He is sure going

through so much. I do not have any ideas other then vaseline. It does

not have any perfumes so will not burn him. And of course vaseline

stays on better and will seal the cracks. Love, Ingrid

have you tried Neosporin Plus?

It is Triple Antibiotic Ointment that has Pain Reliever in it.

Neosporin is the plain one. You need the Neosporin Plus which has the pain

killer.

The ingredients on the tube say Polymyxin B Sulfate, Bacitracin Zinc, Neomycin

Sulfate & Pramoxine Hydrochloride.

This is over the counter and here in the US you can buy the generic one from

many stores like Wal-mart and Kroger. Even grocery stores. Hope you can find it

over there.

Make sure these cracks don't get infected and if you feel that it is getting

worse, take him immediately to the doctor. Maybe it will need draining or

cleaning out and applying silver nitrate. If that is an option. Take care.

Praying for Mike.

Does anyone have any advice on what we can do to heal his poor feet.

I also noticed small cracks near the thumb nail so same problem there.

When I had the cracks on my heels and by my thumb, I was told to get

some bag balm - the stuff they put on cow udders. It comes in a

green tin here and is really called bag balm! I got some and it

works. It is pretty greasy. There is another creme that I love

called udderly smooth (udderlysmooth.com). This works good too. It

is not as greasy as the bag balm. I found it in Walmart, walgreens,

CVS, and most stores here. I feel so badly for mike.
