I am in Toronto. The cream is Flamazine by Smith and Nephew. It is manufactured in Spain. Usually used for burns. Topical antibacterial with silver s ulfadiiazine 1%. Only barrier is that it is in a tube and eventually needs to be cut open to get the cream.

Do you have Raynaud's disease? If so, do you get medication to improve your blood supply?

Thanks I do not been diagnosed with Raynaud's. have had angioplasty on leg, and prostaglandin infusion, On nifedipine and trental for blood supply. The main ulcer is on my heel,and it is healing slowly. Hyper baric treatment is being considered. But these eruptions!!!
