Dear Mike's sister, please do not use a heat lamp on a wound. The dangers far 
outweigh the advantages. It has to be watched all the time if it is used. 
To help the wound dry, take an 8 inch plastic fan from k-mart or anyplace, put 
cheesecloth around it and set it up under the sheet circulating the same air 
and trapping the dust it may churn up. 
If you insist on a heat lamp use an adjustable desk lamp and don't use anything 
bigger than a 60watt bulb from 18 inches.
If your heating up his room, well, I use one of those cheap oil filled 
radiators with a cheap fan blowing air at it. When I have a wound I usually set 
the same heater where it is close enough to warm my wound a bit and speed up 
any drying processes I might be trying. 
 
Best wishes with whatever you heat,
john
