Thats why I was thinking vaseline may be better, no perfume, sometimes when my skin is really dry and I put some bath and body scented lotions on it burns like heck!

Take care and go to the doc and make sure you don't have any circulation problems. I worried about that with my foot surgery since I am overweight but the wounds did heal up pretty good.

I don't think you are overweight but not to stereotype but it seems like diabetes(sp) is more common in folks of Mexican heritage...at least my hispanic friend is paranoid about that.
