Hey GH,
How many times a day should this be done?

my response:
Hi,
Two things, first keep the area clean with saline/peroxide
(2/3 saline 1/3 peroxide). Then
make a tea wash by taking one half cup of water, place a tea bag (no
herbal) and nuke
for 30 seconds, let the solution set with the tea bag for several
hours before using.
The tea is used to change the ph of the area which does wonders. I
know, sounds like a
witches brew, but an RN friend, head of a wound care clinic said it
is an old remedy
that is being brought back. I usually use a fan for 5-8 minutes
after this to completely dry the area.
Doctors and nurses won't advise this, or the use of Bag Balm,
neither is FDA approved.
Going one more step further, use Xenaderm, an expensive cream, but
it promotes
blood flow to the area.
But, keep using Bag Balm as it is anesthetic and antiseptic, helping
kill germs and
protect the area from urine issues.
I'm 42 years post SCI and have seen them all.
