The things I asked for are the things recommended by the doctor. I can’t use common iodine with dressings because it will make the dressings stick to the open wounds, and will be difficult to remove. I need the iodine patches because they are designed not to stick to wounds.
These items are already quite low cost. It’s about £6 for a box of 100 compor E dressings and about £14 for 25 iodine dressings. I don’t think your alternatives would be any cheaper, even if they were suitable for me. The only reason I can’t buy them myself is that I have no income currently.
