Hi Helen,

I was co-caregiver for my best friend who had terrible burn to her foot. When they did the skin grafts her donor site was from mid & upper thigh on the side. She also experienced much pain and discomfort (pulling & tightness) from this area. It took about 6 weeks for the donor site to really start to loosen up. She was given a special cream (bacitracin). You might call your regional burn center for more advice.
