What Is The Medication For Sheet Burns?
I have a patient that has cancer and has been on chemo. She was in the hospital and sliding back and forth on sheets she now has some severe sheet burns on her buttocks. How do I treat those burns? I am using silvadene cream and lidocaine gel ointment. What do you advise?

Thats the treatment of choice.
Avoid using both together.
A water or air bed will help.
Periodic change in position.
Leaving the sores open to air will help in faster healing.
