Hi Jane, You mentioned in an earlier post about using hydrogen peroxide for wound care. My oncologist and nurse have discouraged me from using hydrogen peroxide because it is too harsh. Could this perhaps be impeding wound healing? The last time I tried peroxide I had bleeding and pain. I don't know if you got my reply to your post a while ago but gently irrigating with colloidal silver seems to have prevented an infection and doesn't sting like hydrogen peroxide. Hope this helps, Carol
