My insurance paid for the “ointment” but the doctor wanted him to have the cream as the ointment is oilbased and keeps the air from getting through to the skin while the cream allows the air to get to the skin and help with the healing.
Okay, I see. I replied to you in Freepmail.
Do you still need the gauze and tape, etc?
Glad to hear you were able to get the mupirocin. Even though the doc preferred the cream, the ointment is an excellent barrier — and as long as it’s the same med, it should work the same.
In another post you mentioned that the podiatrist said the wounds are looking good. That’s wonderful to hear! And I’d say that right there is answered prayer!
