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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new treatment, PAL-222, for skin ulcers that haven't improved much after 4 weeks of standard care. It aims to see if PAL-222 can help these wounds heal better.
This study compares two topical (applied on the skin) antimicrobial agents—Dakin’s and Prontosan—to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. You may be eligible if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that has been present for at least 3 weeks and is large enough.
This trial tests if a new gel called SALACIA helps heal diabetic foot wounds that haven't improved with standard treatment. It's for adults with diabetes who have a wound that is at least 5mm wide and has been present for 3 weeks or more.
This trial compares vinegar dressings to normal saline dressings to see which works better for healing infected diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with moderate to severe ulcers (grades 3 and 4 on the Wagner scale).
This trial tests whether a new cleansing solution (Vashe) is better than a standard saline solution for treating leg ulcers that show signs of infection, like redness or pain. If you have a venous or mixed leg ulcer with these signs, this study may help improve your wound healing.
This study looks at fluid from chronic (non-healing) wounds to understand why they don't heal and how biofilms (bacteria that stick to wounds) affect healing. The goal is to find better ways to treat these wounds.
