Question about liquid from spot whilst using Curaderm-BEC5
I have a question for you but unfortunately I cannot send any photos which I realize would be really helpful.
I have been using the Bec5 for about 4 weeks, normally twice daily, sometimes more.
The site on my leg has a yellow centre which now appears to getting smaller very slowly. Today there has been fluid seeping from around this centre ‘plug’. The surrounding area is very red and tender and the skin is painful when I remove the micropore dressing. This surrounding skin has peeled off several times. Is all of this normal?
The photos on your website do not show any sites with the yellow ‘plug’ that has formed on mine.
Regards,

Hello (name withdeld)
Thanks for your email. Yes, actually those are pretty normal. The yellow 'plug' could either be left over creme or dead skin. The best suggested thing you should do is wet the area until it is very soft enough to be flaked off. Flake off or wash the yellow stuff out and re apply Curaderm creme as normal. Stop whatever you are doing if it bleeds. Rinse the area with antiseptic and apply BEC5 creme as normal.
You can also hold an ice bag to the surrounding areas to help ease any pain or swelling. Pain killers can be taken too if you wish. It can not affect your treatment.
Thanks again Natalie, please keep in touch.
