Comment:
My daughter had a tumor removed from her back and a skin graft to cover the hole. It is used to keep the wound bacteria free while healing.

Comment:
My mother has stage 4 breast cancer. Lowered immune system caused her to get yeast infections/rash in groin area and under breasts that did not respond to prescription a antifungal. Nurse put this on gauze pads and placed on sites and rash was gone within 24 hours. Rash rarely comes back but when it does we zap it with this treatment.

No problems since and the incision healed quickly and without any further infection
