Is There A Product To Wrap Around Constantly Weeping Legs?

Is there a product to wrap around legs that constantly weep, due to CHF? Pt has Lasix treatments, but it slowed the heart down to a dangerous level. Takes water pills, but the weeping is a constant flow, ruining clothes, bedding, furniture, ect. We have made leg coverings with feminine pads, puppy piddle pads, and tape wrapping around her legs at night. We use these on the leg at night to keep the bedding dry.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query of weeping lesions on legs, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Wrapping the legs will worsen the condition, so avoid it.
3. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream.
