Question:
Has anyone had WLS while currently in treatment for a skin wound?
A month ago I had a partial toenail removal and they used phenol, which is a chemical (acid?) that kills the nail root. The doctor inadvertently spilled some onto the surface of my toe, which caused a burn injury. The toe is still in the process of healing, still oozing, and I'm using Silvadene on it. It is not infected. My WLS is on Dec. 28 and I don't think my toe will be healed by then and it will need to be looked after while in the hospital. Has anyone else gone into the hospital for WLS while being treated for another type of wound problem? Hope I haven't grossed anyone out! — Leah B. (posted on December 9, 2000)

Leah,
Don't know if this answer helps or not, but I can't see where there would
be a problem with that. Heck, if the nurses can take care of the women who
start their period while in the hospital, than a little cream on a toe
should be a breeze!! Just let them know and I am sure they will help you!!
Good luck and God speed. Jann
