Subject: RE: Thickening the skin on a leg stump


He got his prosthetic about 2 weeks ago. it appears he can wear it about 20 minutes and has a sore. The sore then takes a week to heal.
It is possible he is not putting enough socks on to get it tight.
I am just hoping to find a way to get that first build up of skin.
The shape of the leg is not what I would have done, but I am sure the surgeon with many years of experience and years of education knows more than I.
He put a band aid on it and that just made it worse as the skin pulled off with the band aid.
He is 50+ and has diabetes. Mostly spends the day laying on the bed so not much help for circulation.
