312jon Hello jon, I have PVR and for four years I had a nasty rash on my leg, I went through every known ointment, cream , UVB light box treatment at out hospital specialist dept to no avail for three days a week for month' s at a time for two summers running, Nothing worked and I got fed up to the point I insisted on a different opinion. I live on an island and had to fly to the mainland for a treatment assesment from a group of 'specialists'. A couple of weeks later I got a reply from the group which told me to use one of the ointments but cover it in 'clingfilm' Yes I didn't believe it either. Four years of horrendous itching a rash that was disfiguring my skin. But after a week it had almost gone. My own GP was astonished and asked if I minded her passing on the treatment , of course I didn't mind, after all that time I was happy it might help someone else. Just wrap the whole area around and around the wound so its like a sock, I promise you won't even notice it, it was like a second skin keep it on night and day. I think it worked because the constant cntact with what ever ointment you use. Good luck if you decide to try, it cured mine, I do hope it helps you.

Are you taking hydroxyurea (aka hydroxycarbamide)? Lower leg wounds are a sign of toxicity. Does your hematologist know about the wound?

Hello Jon, so sorry to hear this, it is obviously very distressing for you. Do you have a MPN? mAZ
