It could be a case of squamous cell carcinoma (as you said fungating and foul smelling). Depending up on the severity and the extent of the disease, amputation might have to do. There is nothing you can do in the rural or peripheral setup in Nepal. This case has to referred to the higher center.


All the best.

Thanks for the reply.
I am specializing in Palliative care and looking for answers regarding a patient who has SCC in the last 2 -3months of life and needs conservative treatments; that is the reason for my enquiry.
Could you please guide me to a palliative care physician or nurse.
Do the people of Nepal treat wounds using conservative methods?
I am trying to find out home remedies or inexpensive ways used by people of different cultures globally.
