I went 25 years with no sores, but the last few years I have had a few smaller size ones on my butt. Bad enough I needed some care, but not having to stay in bed. Smaller than a dime and not too deep I used a few different products used to eat the dead tissue but not the good meat, then a pad of stuff you cut out and place on the wound that helps the healing, then cover with a dressing. But lately I keep getting wounds on my nutz. Not like a small pressure sore, more like a rubbed raw area. But today it was in a new area on the front of my nutz that was more like a deep wound that started bleeding. It doesn't look like it gets much pressure there. I've used boxer briefs for years, but I'll change to just briefs. I've switch to sweat pants awhile ago and it hasn't helped. I spend hours each day outside in the heat and my crotch does get sweaty. I've tried different powders, but that just makes a sticky mess. You other guys ever have troubles in that area?
G. _____ Hi......well......I've been in bed for 6 weeks with at least 4 to go with a Stage 4 on my right istitial. I am using a wound vac which is working great. I am on an air bed, too. Regarding the heels....put a pillow under the lower legs and suspend the heels in the air at night.
