    I have never understood this idea of leaving ulcers for a week before dressing. I had a deep wound on my shin which turned to gangrene when it was left for a week, and healed within about three months when the dressing was changed every 2-3 days. At one point a skin graft was considered.
    So I am speaking from personal experience. It seems obvious to me!But I suppose studies have to prove the obvious.
