What should I do for bedridden patient's bedsore?

Patient's Query

Bedridden patient have bedsore what to do

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Bedsores can happen when there's prolonged pressure on the skin, especially over bony areas like hips or heels. The lack of movement reduces blood flow and can lead to skin breakdown. To help with this, we need to relieve pressure by changing positions frequently, using special cushions, and keeping the skin clean and dry. In fact, gentle massages and applying moisturizer can also be beneficial. It's important to involve your dermatologist for proper wound care and prevention strategies.

The signs you are experiencing e.g. Redness, itching, and rashes may be due to various reasons. This could be because of your allergies, stress, weather changes, or some products that could be irritants to your skin. To solve this, you can use gentle skincare products, stop the triggers you might think are causing the issue, and regularly wash and hydrate your skin.
