  1. Removal of previously applied bandages
  2. The wound has already been treated with Tecasorb, however, improperly
  3. The patient had never applied compression bandage
  4. He had not been cleansing the wound and the adjacent area properly
  5. Thick scales developed and prevented healing
  6. The defect was cleansed with a gauze pad soaked in cleansing solution
  7. The adjacent skin in the diameter of up to 10 cm is infiltrated and slightly erythematous
  8. There are visible crusts and scales that prevent healing
  9. Scales are removed painlessly with a single use curette to uncover epithelised areas
  10. The wound is cleansed with a disinfecting solution
  11. The adjacent area is covered with a thin layer of indifferent zinc ointment
