Removal of a bunion

Posted , 2 users are following.

Had a bunion removal 22nd June all went well but they found a fracture in my toe so got a aircast on to try to fix it . They said I could shower as normal after 2 weeks but I have got a lot of dry feet with dressing and was wondering if could start massaging my feet to try and soften skin the wound looks ok so was just wondering has anybody else done it

    Massaging with oils or Vaseline should help to soften the dryness.
