A dear friend has stage 4 cancer and the medication she is currently on is causing extreme itching. Her wounds from the scratching look horrendous. I have heard Manuka honey is great for healing, but there are so many brands and types. Can anyone here please help direct me to a good one?

We got manuka honey non-adherent dressings on Amazon by a brand called Actilite, for my brother's eczema flareup -- it was very effective at soothing and healing even after leaving on overnight.
It doesn't stick on by itself so you'll need to put a topper dressing over the strip it to keep it stuck to the skin and covered; otherwise if placing the strip on the wrists/arms/ankles/legs you can hold it in place by rolling on a tube bandage over it. Topper dressings are available in supermarkets or pharmacies or amazon.
