I need help getting some iodine patches.
I've been trying not to ask for help again on here so soon, worried that people will get sick of me. But my surgical wounds are infected and while I have the dressings I need, thanks to help received from here, I now need medical iodine patches. They are sterile patches of gauze that you place directly over the wounds and they fight the infection. They aren't provided on the NHS, I have to pay for them myself. I need them very urgently, less than two weeks ago I ended up in the emergency department because the infection got so bad and I really don't want it to get that bad again.
Due to the DWP checking people's bank accounts, I don't feel safe asking for actual money if I can avoid it (I'm going through a disability benefit appeal.) So I am hoping someone might order these patches and send them to me. I need as many as I can get as they said the wounds from this current surgery could take another 3 months to heal fully, and I'm having another surgery on 24th April. But even one box would be a huge help.
It's really quite urgent.

Due to being unable to wear shoes at the moment but still having to go outside sometimes, I really need some of these. They gave me some at the hospital with my original bandage pack but I'm about to run out:
