The best stuff I've found to protect skin, heal redness, dryness, and heal
the earliest stages (non-broken) skin is Sween Cream by Coloplast. It
costs about $9-$12 bucks for a tube that will last several months
of using it evening and morning on my butt. Works well on skin anywhere.
I apply it each morning and evening to protect my skin. I learned this
from a world famous Paraplegic Rock Climber and Supercrip--he
swears by the stuff.

Hi, Don--I had a pressure sore a while back on my bottom from my seat
losing air---Some of the quads on here recommended ( lantiseptic ) so we
bought
wound care saline and would clean it with that then after it dried we
applied the lantiseptic cream--Mine healed very quickly after that--- Bag balm
and {boudreaux butt paste} are very good for rash, redness oe early stage
of pressure sores. My doctor told us about the butt paste---it has a funny
name but works very well---these can be found at stores like kmart--target
and some walgreens I think. good luck ! hope this helps, Dan H.

Subject: [QUAD-L] honey vs bag balm vs sulfadiazine
hi group,
ok, here we go again with the pressure soar question. i developed my first
pressure soar after 20 years. it's a stage 2 and barely open. it's about
the size of a quarter. it's located on my buttock and was caused by my jay 2
cushion. i've been fighting it for 2 months now and saw my dr. a month
ago. he recommended sulfadiazine or also known as silverdine and a gauze pad
as well as trying to stay off of it. I was able to stay in bed for awhile
but need to be up more now for my girlfriend to go to work. she has 2 more
weeks of work before summer break and i need to be up 10 hours a day. it did
get slightly better but now coming back from being up i'm assuming. i did
get a new cushion yesterday which i'm hoping helps. i guess what i need
opinions on is should i give up on the sulfadiazine and try honey or bag balm
for a quicker healing result? any suggestions would be helpful. i know the
obvious answer is stay down in bed but she needs to work. also is the bag
balm you folks use the one in the green can or something else?
thanks for your input and help,
donald c5/c6 complete
