She needs help from either a district or practice nurse, to apply highly absorbent dressings under bandages. Very distressing situation for you all - but your daughter should be seen urgently.
Acute heart failure?? Best to go to hospital. Call for advice.
I agree with Lynora, but what help stop my leaking leg was moisturiser. I rubbed in some where the leak was and the surrounding skin and the leak stopped. The nurse I had gave me some small absorbent dressings, but it was the moisturiser which stopped the leak. I'm prescribed Doublebase Gel but other moisturisers should work in the same way .
