Re: [QUAD-L] honey vs bag balm vs sulfadiazine
I used bag balm for a stage III ulcer I had under my testicles and it healed within nine days, but that was nine days of bedtime. I have also had some problems with a stage III just above my coccyx. The first time I had this it took about nine days to heal with complete bedtime. I used bag balm both times on the open as well as around the area. We noticed significant improvement as soon as I started using the product. I have another one which started the other day, but I spent five days down and used bag balm once again and it is nothing more than a small red spot now. My problems being caused by the recline feature on my chair, so I had them shut it off. So hopefully I won't have any more problems. I have the honey also, but I don't know which is better. I'll be happy to read what others say.

Re: [QUAD-L] honey vs bag balm vs sulfadiazine
Bob, I have had some problems over the last year, but so far I am managing them pretty well. I think I have the cause of my difficulties identified and hopefully remedied. I am wondering if I might be classifying my skin problems different than everyone else. Could you go over the stages of the ulcer. I want to make sure I'm on the same sheet of music.

Re: [QUAD-L] honey vs bag balm vs sulfadiazine
pressures sores, should always be your 1st priority. Everything else is 2nd. In time you will learn the difference between staying off your butts vs complete bedrest and turning each 3 hours. Meds and Chemicals only do so much. Diet is equally important, as with age and skin texture. Pressure sores usually get worse, before they begin to get better and dead tissue is removed and fresh tissue is promoted. Some change dressing twice a day and the wound vac should also be part of your therapy. I hope you heal quickly. Best Wishes In a message dated 7/22/2011 8:31:02 A.M.

air---Some of the quads on here recommended ( lantiseptic ) so we bought wound
care saline and would clean it with that then after it dried we applied the
lantiseptic cream--Mine healed very quickly after that--- Bag balm and
{boudreaux butt paste} are very good for rash, redness oe early stage of
pressure sores. My doctor told us about the butt paste---it has a funny name
but
works very well---these can be found at stores like kmart--target and some

The best stuff I've found to protect skin, heal redness, dryness, and heal the
earliest stages (non-broken) skin is Sween Cream by Coloplast. It costs about
$9-$12 bucks for a tube that will last several months
of using it evening and morning on my butt. Works well on skin anywhere. I
apply it each morning and evening to protect my skin. I learned this from a

Re: [QUAD-L] honey vs bag balm vs sulfadiazine
You guessed it! He used to drone on and on about The Sween Cream brother!
Gotta have the Sween Cream to keep the skin strong. About 6-months ago I
started having serious problems with red, dry cracking
skin and started having heal tiny stage II cracks. I remembered his animated
Gotta have the Sween Cream Brother! Remark--and hunted some down. Available
online and at specialty pharmacies.
Within a few days of using Sween Cream the redness and dryness and cracking
went away. It rubs in well too so there is no residue--and within 10-minutes
of rubbing it in you can apply bandages or adhesives over
it. I know I sound like a commercial--but I have no affiliation with them.
Wish I did...

Re: [QUAD-L] honey vs bag balm vs sulfadiazine
I just knew it. Mark is a super human being and a talented para-glider, in
his spare time. His group performs at places like county fairs and
performs trick maneuvers , while wearing smoke grenades. They land away from
the
grandstands and then roll out in their chairs to the screaming audiences.
I'll never forget Mark's performance at the 1996 Summer Paralympics in
Atlanta.
Thanks and Best Wishes

I started having serious problems with red, dry cracking
skin and started having heal tiny stage II cracks. I remembered his
animated Gotta have the Sween Cream Brother! Remark--and hunted some down.
Available online and at specialty pharmacies.
Within a few days of using Sween Cream the redness and dryness and
cracking went away. It rubs in well too so there is no residue--and within
10-minutes of rubbing it in you can apply bandages or adhesives over
it. I know I sound like a commercial--but I have no affiliation with
them. Wish I did...

The best stuff I've found to protect skin, heal redness, dryness, and heal
the earliest stages (non-broken) skin is Sween Cream by Coloplast. It
costs about $9-$12 bucks for a tube that will last several months
of using it evening and morning on my butt. Works well on skin anywhere.
I apply it each morning and evening to protect my skin. I learned this
from a world famous Paraplegic Rock Climber and Supercrip--he
swears by the stuff.

bought
wound care saline and would clean it with that then after it dried we
applied the lantiseptic cream--Mine healed very quickly after that--- Bag balm
and {boudreaux butt paste} are very good for rash, redness oe early stage
of pressure sores. My doctor told us about the butt paste---it has a funny
name but works very well---these can be found at stores like kmart--target
and some walgreens I think. good luck ! hope this helps, Dan H.

hi group,
ok, here we go again with the pressure soar question. i developed my
first pressure soar after 20 years. it's a stage 2 and barely open. it's about
the size of a quarter. it's located on my buttock and was caused by my jay
2 cushion. i've been fighting it for 2 months now and saw my dr. a month
ago. he recommended sulfadiazine or also known as silverdine and a gauze pad
as well as trying to stay off of it. 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,
