Dave,

I bought same for myself as well. It can go on 
open, noninfected wounds as opposed to Curasol?

I'm fortunate enough not to have a sore yet due to sitting. Two 
things you should check is the back of your chair to make sure it is not coming 
down too far and also to make sure your cushion is not broken down. My 
doctor, physical therapist and the lady that set up my wheelchair went to great 
lengths to make sure that my cushion and back were compatible with each 
other.

Re: [QUAD-L] The start of pressure sore

[Tim Thompson]

OK,
Does it blanch (turn pale) after finger pressure is applied?
If so no sweat, keep off your back at night if on a reg mattress and keep up the pressure reliefs.
A dark color that doesn't blanch is a stage 1 pressure sore. A visit to your SCI doc would be a good idea.

Hi Dan,

This could be your worst nightmare.. or it just might be a red spot on your skin.
If it was merely a red spot, it would be gone, by now, if you have resting off of it for a couple of hours. However, if it is still present, it could be more serious, and require more attention.
It would be wise to determine if it IS a pressure sore. Massaging the area, and dry cooling the area may help. Contact your doctor's office an make sure that they are aware of your health concerns. It just make be safe to consider that it is the beginning and start with the

normal protocol for eliminating that which you believe is a pressure sore. This way, if it is not, you have some experience on what to do.
Best Wishes and I hope its just a misquito bite, gone wild.

I'll use a soft cotton patch if there is an open area, otherwise I'll just grease the pressure spots.  With Love,  CtrlAltDel aka DaveC4/5 Complete - 29 Years PostTexas, USA Mare Albano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  Dave,Thanks for this info.!  Do you use a dressing w/it?-Mare
