Treating Leg Ulcers

'Because the Skin Recovery Spray contains fewer ingredients than the Skin Recovery Cream, there is less likelihood of an allergic reaction. This is rare, but, like any topical application, possible. On the other hand, some patients do better using the cream than the spray, so it is really a matter of finding what is best for you. 

I usually recommend the spray as first line treatment. This product is very safe, however in most cases, we are dealing with very fragile skin, so it is best to hasten slowly. Therefore, apply just a little spray AROUND the ulcer(s) once or twice weekly only to begin with, and try to avoid the ulcer surface.'

'There are no guarantees in ulcer healing. Overuse of wheatgrass should be avoided and bear in mind that a little goes a long way.'


'If granulation does occur and exudate increases, cease treatment for a week, then try spraying around the ulcer again. As with any kind of ulcer treatment, responses can vary considerably, so a watchful and careful eye is needed when using wheatgrass.'
