Vinegar solution for infected skin ulcers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a 2% acetic acid solution (similar to household vinegar) to see if it helps heal skin ulcers that have a biofilm. The study is for people with a chronic skin wound that is not on the face, is smaller than about 4 inches by 4 inches, and has been present for less than 18 months.
