Hi my dad had mohs surgery done (vertex incision) 2 months ago. Large area on scalp 2nd course of antibiotics still oozing. He has to go for radiotherapy and we just don't know how to get it to heal. I have used salt and water. ..dressings have been aqua flex silver alternating with manuka honey antibacterial dressings. Doc has now prescribed steroid cream. Any advice please
