ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of attenuating swelling or inflammation in the tissue of a patient via applying a composition comprising a hydrophilic foam substrate and a polymeric hydrophilic agent capable of absorbing water to a portion of the surface of the skin of the patient in an amount and at a location sufficient to attenuate swelling or inflammation.
