Maxitrol Eye Ointment

We went to AH today for his usual dressing change and just wanted to mention that any child who's haemangioma is just beginning to ulcerate may really benefit from this cream. It cannot be used for more than around 4 weeks at a time (with breaks) but if it helps stop the ulceration getting worse, mentioning it may be worth a try to help dry out and heal the affected area. As you can see in the pictures, the first is very 'raw' and 6 days later the edges are beginning to dry (black crusted areas). Fox is also using Acticoat at the moment to keep infection at bay but I don't think this is necessary to help it dry out, Maxitrol (http://xpil.medicines.org.uk/viewpil.aspx?docid=8858) has worked well alone before. Obviously we now worry about whats next when he has to stop the ointment again??? GOSH on Monday. We've also raised £285 so far for the BSG. Thank you to everyone who has given so generously :o) its great.
