Hi, Greg-- I used to have some problem there and where leg and butt area meet, my doctor told us to get this cream called---BOUDREAUX'S BUTT PASTE- ( funny name, we all laughed-even my doc ! ) it is sold in most stores such as Target, it works great for me- my wife always applies a light coating on problem area's and have not had any more trouble since.

Bad enough I needed some care, but not having to stay in bed. Smaller than a dime and not too deep I used a few different products used to eat the dead tissue but not the good meat, then a pad of stuff you cut out and place on the wound that helps the healing, then cover with a dressing. But lately I keep getting wounds on my nutz. Not like a small pressure sore, more like a rubbed raw area. But today it was in a new area on the front of my nutz that was more like a deep wound that started bleeding. It doesn’t look like it gets much pressure there. I’ve used boxer briefs for years, but I’ll change to just briefs. I’ve switch to sweat pants awhile ago and it hasn’t helped. I spend hours each day outside in the heat and my crotch does get sweaty. I’ve tried different powders, but that just makes a sticky mess. You other guys ever have troubles in that area? G. Hi......well......I've been in bed for 6 weeks with at least 4 to go with a Stage 4 on my right istitial. I am using a wound vac which is working great. I am on an air bed, too. Regarding the heels....put a pillow under the lower legs and suspend the heels in the air at night.
