Summary
This study tests whether a plant medicine made from Pterocarpus indicus can help heal small skin ulcers in people living in remote parts of Papua New Guinea. About 222 participants with sores smaller than 1 cm will use either the plant treatment, Savlon cream, or no treatment. Healing is checked after 7 and 14 days to see if the sore shrinks by at least 25%.
