don't think you're suppose to use it on open sores. i use it in crotch/butt area for chaffing, red areas, etc.

I was able to stay in bed for awhile but need to be up more now for my girlfriend to go to work. she has 2 more weeks of work before summer break and i need to be up 10 hours a day. it did get slightly better but now coming back from being up i'm assuming. i did get a new cushion yesterday which i'm hoping helps. i guess what i need opinions on is should i give up on the sulfadiazine and try honey or bag balm for a quicker healing result? any suggestions would be helpful. i know the obvious answer is stay down in bed but she needs to work. also is the bag balm you folks use the one in the green can or something else? thanks for your input and help, donald c5/c6 complete
