A, Loty L, Alberto A, et al, 2011)
This woman suffered from very thick
hyperkeratosis and also had a small
ulcer (Figure 2). She applied her own
emollients on a daily basis, but did not
wash them off thoroughly enough.
As a result, there was a build-up of
skin and emollients and when she
removed her compression hosiery at
night she experienced severe itching.
Because the hyperkeratosis was
so thick, the emollients were not
getting through. Following consent,
Debrisoft was used to try and remove
the hyperkeratosis and this was very
successful (Figure 3), causing no pain
or discomfort (according to a visual
analogue pain assessment — score 0)
while the skin and wounds were being
cleansed.
