Thanks in advance.

Yes, a woundcare Nurse is needed. My DD does it as her drive.

Bedsore treatment at any stage that breaks the skin is a "science" in our ties.
You need wound care nurse assessment.
This is a specialty.
The treatment is very specific to the cultures, to the patient per skin and tissue strength.
To the general condition.
Even in a hospital nurses (regular) seldom are allowed to treat until assessment by wound care nurses. Often wound vacs, other "machinery" in use. Very expensive costly dressings and ointments.
You also need to know that they are terribly difficult to heal and can be deadly.
This needs to be brought to the doctor and a wound care consult needs to be ordered.
Some wounds need packing and some must not have them. VERY specialized.

It should be covered by insurance. See your provider and prevent it from getting worse. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000740.htm#:~:text=Stage%20II%20pressure%20sores%20should,They%20can%20damage%20the%20skin.
