Hi,
My mother was hospitalized last year. During the stay, she developed bed sores. One was near the heel while the other one was near the tail bone. The doctor advised EUSOL and Zinc Oxide. The sore on the heel is completely gone but the one near the tail bone has improved a lot but the color of the skin is still pinkish.
Can someone please advise any product that will be helpful in completely curing the sore. (It's not painful and she can sit in her bed or on a chair for hours while watching TV). Moreover, we use an air mattress and change her side every 2 to 2.5 hours.
Best regards
This is very serious because these wounds can get so bad, the surrounding tissue can start dying. Worse, is these pesky wounds are an open "oriface" and open invitation to other infections that can become systemic and then require hospitalization.
I have heard very good things about wound care centers (that is what my FIL has managing his ulcer on his lower hip -- pressure wound). They have been patient with him and keep trying different things but are evaluting him in person every week and trying new things.
Good luck.
