I'm just getting over a butt sore and the wound nurse had me get a product
called Puracol Plus A.G. It's a small square pad you cut to just fit on the
sore, then cover with bandage. It's supposed to promote skin growth. After
weeks of no noticeable improvement, we could really see it help. Silvasorb
Plus helped too. I'd ask your doc about it.

Hi all, I need some advice on what product or treatment I need... in early
June of this year my wife bought me a pair of tennis shoes that was a bit
too small., after a few days or so she noticed a large blister on my ankle
and heel. After that we changed to sandles too keep the pressure off it
and see if it would get well. But--after 3 months we tried to put on tennis
shoes again ( the right size this time ) and it broke open and bled
.......my family doctor don't know how to treat it and sent me to a foot
doctor-( podiatrist ) . The foot doctor just said to keep wearing sandles
and ran a lab test on the blood, and said I had regular staph infection from
the blood at wound site......so he put me on Augmenton 875 ML. twice a day
for a while. My wife puts either anti-biotic or silver sulfadiazine cream
on it and covers it with a bandaid, Do any of you know of a better way to
treat it??? I was wondering about miracle mist or any other product or
treatment I should try?? I have never a any pressure wounds since ICU over
11 years back,, and never any on my feet. Any Idea's from the group would be
appreciated ( because we don't know what to do about it )
Thanks You All for any Input.
