Good evening everyone. To make a long story short, I developed a stage 4 pressure ucler with osteo on my left ischial. If interested I can explain how I got to stage 4 due to a VA hospital incompetence. I was admitted to another VA hospital, one I went to when first injured and SCI hospital, and stayed there for several months until it was healed enough for me to go home. During the last days there a small scab developed over the pin size hole, so small that the long stick q-tips wouldn't fit in it. I was discharged in early July of this year, and since then the scab has gotten a little bit bigger and sometimes it bleeds. I wear a band aid over it during the day while I'm up but take it off at night when sleeping fyi.
My questions are:
Any questions you need to me please fill free to ask.
My questions are:
- Is it normal for a scab a bit more bigger than the wound area?
- Does bigger scab mean the wound area is getting bigger?
- Is bleeding through the scab ok? Sometimes will be like a little drop a blood or sometimes looks like 1/2 the band aid area is stained.
- Should I be putting the lotion(http://ift.tt/1RQi1K1) they gave on the scab? I've been told also not to put anything on it cause it could build up and cause an infection if it got inside the scab.
Any questions you need to me please fill free to ask.
