Hello
Thank you for posting at HCM.
Pressure sores since childhood should be evaluated in detail because the causes can be many and treatment varies accordingly.Hence I would advise you to consult a specialist- surgeon.
Even to give you primary guidance I would need details like site of the sores, the healing pattern, associated pain and discharge.
So please clarify these points.
As first line of management- keep the area clean, avoid continued friction at the site,provide necessary dressings.
Hope I have been of help.
If you return with the details, we can sort the problem better.
Regards
Dr.Jayasree P,MD
