Bedsores Treatment

As soon as you suspect a pressure sore may be developing, take step at once to relieve the pressure on that part of body, and keep it clean and dry. Clean foam underlays may help lower pressure at the site. If the problem is not too advanced, this may be all that is needed, and the developing sore may heal on its own.
If more aggressive treatment is called for, absorbent foamlike bandages may be applied and changed frequently. There are also special dressings with a water based suspension that may be used as a covering to protect the site. Topical antibiotic ointment may be applied to prevent infection.
If the area is moist, topical zinc oxide ointment can help to dry the sore out.
For more advanced sores, debridement may be required. Your doctor may also prescribe systemic antibiotic treatment to fight infection.
Specific treatment of a bed sore is determined by your physician and based on the severity of the condition. Treatment may be more difficult once the skin is broken, and may include the following:
- removing pressure on the affected area
- protecting the wound with medicated gauze or other special dressings
- keeping the wound clean
- transplanting healthy skin to the wound area
- medication (i.e., antibiotics to treat infections)
