it is called SANTYL OINTMENT. Even though I sit all day on a roho
cushion, all the dead skin is gone and the wound is starting to heal.
Wish me luck.

What is the name of the ointment? I could've used some of that when
I was dealing with a stage 2 (at least I think that's what it was)
in August. It took me nine or 10 days in bed.
I had real good luck with bag balm speeding the process up though.

whoops! I meant 3 x 3 cm.

same here. This is my first sore in my lifetime. It's right over my
ischemia. It's a stage II. I cannot stay in bed because it makes me
very weak. So, I have to get in my chair no matter what. I went to
the wound clinic and they debrided it. Now I am treating it every
day with an ointment that dissolves dead tissue. Almost all the
dead tissue is now gone. So, I'm hoping the wound will slowly close
up. Right now it is 3 cm x 30 cm. Wish me luck!

I've had a sore on my butt for months now. It was not wide, butt
it was deep (7cm) I think. I've been going to a wound clinic and
it's down to only (2cm), butt it seams to have stalled. It's just
right and above my tail bone. I think it's from bed not my chair.
It goes in, then tunnels sideways. I sleep partly on that side,
well... did. Though I did sit slightly tilted a lot. I'm going to
get pressure mapped again just to check. I still get up in my
chair every day, I'm just reclining a lot. I know it would heal
faster if I stayed in bed, even if it's not caused by my chair.
I'm sure it gets some pressure there sitting up. I just couldn't
stand laying in bed that long.
