My mom has a bed sore on her bottom. It isn't bad, but it won't heal because of where it is located. It just constantly rubs every time she moves. We have tried to use band-aids and they wouldn't stick longer than a day. We believe it is because it is in an area that constantly rubs on something. We recently started using tagaderm, but it only lasted about a day as well. Anyone have any ideas as to what we can put on it, so it doesn't get worse? She isn't able to sleep or lay on her sides, so she is always on it.
Please bring in a wound specialist to asses this sore and let them treat it accordingly.
Best wishes.
They should be cared for by Specialize Wound Care Specialists.
If mom is on Hospice they will have specialized staff that will come in and care for the wound,.
If mom is not on Hospice contact the doctor IMMEDIATELY so that proper care can begin.
If you can not get hold of the doctor I think a Pressure Sore is serious enough to make a trip to the ER,
BTW, the MY PILLOW company makes an outstanding mattress topper.
I would spray colloidal silver on it multiple times a day and cover it with manuka honey and a large bandage, until the wound care starts.
Some areas just require frequent bandage changes.
I hope you get this taken care of quickly. They can be deadly.
