    Ulcer treatment

    It is very expensive but it draws the poisonous exudate of staph skin infections fairly well and klls the bacteria. I have been able to cure these things topically which is great because antibiotics don't control these infections for long.

  1. Question: Can it be used on the wound caused by cutting of a squamous cell carcinoma?

    Asked by Ellen on Aug 29, 2025
    • Answer: You can use Iodosorb Cadexomer Iodine Gel on a wound from squamous‑cell carcinoma surgery, but only if the wound is open, clean, and draining, and the care is supervised by a physician. If the surgical site is dry or already healed, it would not be appropriate.

  12. Question: How can I get to know that my Iodosorb needs changing?

    Asked by Anglena on Mar 16, 2017
    • Answer: Iodosorb will change from a dark brown to off white which indicates that all the iodine has been released. This indicates that it is time to change the Iodosorb. The number of dressing changes therefore depends on the levels of infection and exudate present in the wound.

  13. Question: How should I remove Iodosorb from the ulcer?

    Asked by Alina on Mar 16, 2017
    • Answer: Remove the secondary dressing. If it is sticking to the Iodosorb, soak with sterile saline or water. To remove Iodosorb from the wound, simply flush it away with sterile saline or water. If there are any small remnants of Iodosorb left in the wound, don't worry they will be naturally degraded without causing any delay to healing or systemic reaction.
