Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on with my skin. It's dry, itchy, and has white spots and red dots. It's very uncomfortable. Could you please tell me what types of pressure ulcers there are?Doctor's answer:
Bedsores are generally categorized into stages rather than types, with treatment primarily divided into three phases based on severity. Bedsores, also known as pressure sores, are more likely to recur in patients who are bedridden for long periods, and this is closely related to their care. For example, it involves removing sweat stains from the body, improving local blood circulation, and preventing infection. The treatment for bedsores varies depending on the stage, so it is important to frequently change the patient's position, especially for those who are bedridden. Every two hours, it is necessary to change their sleeping position or turn them over. Hospitalization may be required if necessary.
