"My doctor prescribed this for me because I have diabetes and am also having chemotherapy for stage 4 liver cancer. I keep getting sores on my body that won't heal on their own. He thought this might work, and it has been a miracle worker on my skin. It's helping with the healing and the time it takes to heal. I think it's a great product and ever so thankful that my doctor was sensitive enough to give me this so that I won't be embarrassed by my sores."
