Hi All, Ive recently been treating a patient with a clawed 2nd toe on the R/F This patient had a corn on the dorsum of the toe caused by the prominence of the joint Ive manged to enucleate the corn & used one of those silicone pads cut from a strip The Strip however has rolled down the toe and trapped under the clawed toe and caused an ulcer.The tendon is exposed and the site is odourous and the foot is noticeably warmer than the left so Im sure its infected Ive advised the patient to get antibiotics but its proving a challenging task to get the site to heal. Ive applied betadine,a dry secondary dressing along with TG & Mefix twice but the wound is not improving.I noticed the tendon was just slightly visible on the last visit
