Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on with my skin. It's dry, itchy, and there are also white spots and red dots. It's very uncomfortable. What should elderly people do if they get bedsores?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when this elderly person develops a bedsore again, they should first use a pressure relief pad for napping. At the same time, they can also use a pillow to elevate the affected area to prevent prolonged pressure. Additionally, they should change their position regularly, ideally every one to two hours, to ensure the skin remains dry. If there is a risk of infection, antiseptic medication may be necessary. Additionally, calcined plaster powder can be applied to the area for further treatment.
