peg granulation and sleepless nights.

Hi Seeker , i used hydrocortisone cream when my PEG site over granulated, although i expect you have used this. Take care.

I imagine I have but I dont have any left which I used for other things and my doctor doesnt like prescribing it or anything else I need, like sleeping tablets. I can mention having a peg working all night and being up by day takes its toll and I end up with sleepless nights and tired by day.  What I really would like to know is if it healed you and how long it took. I wonder why one uses the term over granulated, I would like none to be there or is that impossible. I am under the hospital and fresensius peg nurse and they should both have experience but nothing seems to help. 

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing but I was told to ask the GP to prescribe some tape that I wrapped around the tube to cover the growth?, it was more expensive by a long way than the cream you would usually get and the GP wasn't to happy lol, it was my dietitian or speech therapist that told me to push for it, could of been the Macmillan nurse.

I will see if I can find it and let you know what it was.

I dont think it would work with the peg since one cannot cover the whole surface of the wart or granulation since the peg is in the way.

I think the only real way is to cut it out roots and all. But no doctor is prepared to do it. I remember many years ago when I was young I had one on my hand for a long time and had been to doctors to no avail. Once I decided to cut it out, it bleeded a very lot but I never had it again. In the peg position it is something I myself cant do. It would mean first taking the peg out doing it and putting it back again.
