and use on a new patient?

Even if she did not put it on her hand, but added it to the dressing to keep it all moist?

Or am I precious?

Considering whether to call the Practice Manager tomorrow or not.

It did take a few weeks but her feet were in a terrible state and no over the counter remedy had worked. The doctor had suggested freezing but it would have been too painful to get them all done at once. We tried one and that was bad enough. Also, she was very into sport and could not have coped with limited use of her feet while they healed.
What we did was pith to skin, every night whist she was in bed. I was doubtful initially but it worked.

Hmmm..that's interesting. The duct tape thing took around 3 weeks and I rarely left her with a tape free day. Will definitely remember the banana skin thing though. I'm most impressed that it was just over night and not 24/7. Thank you!

24/7 would have been better but she refused to walk around on squelchy banana skins all day!

I can understand why! my Dd did a lot of objecting (she's 5), but after about a week, she gave in and let me put it on, even to the point of asking me to do it when I forgot.
