There are two methods to apply the Ichthopaste bandage: Start at the base of the toes and loosely wrap the bandage around the foot, heel, and leg in a spiral up to just below the knee. Smooth and shape the bandage around the leg. Alternatively, start at the base of the toes and loosely wrap around the foot and heel. From the ankle, fold the bandage back on itself in a pleat at the front of the leg with each turn, continuing up to just below the knee. Compression bandaging can be applied afterward. Once the Ichthopaste is in place, cover the leg with a bandage or dressing to protect clothing.

Ichthopaste should be applied with graduated compression bandaging only after evaluating the patient to rule out arterial disease. A Doppler ultrasound is advised for this assessment. Compression bandaging is not suitable for patients with arterial disease (ABPI < 0.8) and is not recommended for diabetic patients with advanced small vessel disease. Undetected reduced arterial flow can lead to pressure necrosis, amputation, or death. The likelihood of having both arterial and venous disease increases with age. Ichthopaste should not be used if there is a known sensitivity or allergy to its ingredients. Leg ulcer patients' skin can easily become sensitized to topical medications, including preservatives. Sensitization should be considered if the surrounding skin worsens, and such patients should be referred for specialist diagnosis, including patch testing. Occlusive bandages can increase absorption, so caution is needed when applying topical steroids, anesthetics, or retinoids under the bandage, as their absorption may be significantly increased. This can shorten the effect duration of a topical anesthetic and increase the risk of sensitization to these preparations.
