How can we find best dressings

My dad has skin cancer that has spread to his ear. It is moving down his ear canal. He will be havin an op in next four weeks. He will hav to hav almost everything removed from right side of his face so will hav right side paralysis. In the meantime he has to hav his ear dressed every other day. Sometimes the dressings don’t last a couple of hours. Does anyone hav any advice on best dressings for ears. My poor dad is at his wits end and it’s so undignified. Any suggestions so gratefully received. 

  • Hi there, best people to ask about dressings are your local district nurses who can be usually contacted through your gp surgey. They are experts in wound care and have access to specialist nurses called tissue viability nurses who can provide even more ideas about complex wounds. Hope this helps. Best wishes to your Dad.
