This is an interesting subject to me as Ive done way more HBO than I care to count and Ive also had OC 3 times. I was thinking of checking with some wound care specialists that I know but then I thought its kinda like asking a surgeon if they would recommend surgery.
Tammy if you (or anyone else) finds any studies that have been done on this please post for all of us to learn from.
