Mr. G, would it help to mix the pimafix and melafix in this case? It might
work better right?
any way, with rot in any place it takes some time to heal, i used the
melafix after treated for the rot with MG twice, i used the melafix for
almost 2 weeks, it helped a lot with healing after the MG got rid of the
rot.
