I'm really glad you went to your doc right away, Meredith. I had a sore on my shin recently and I went the same route. I'm done with the antibiotics and the wound is healing well. Wishing you speedy healing!

Learned my lesson.

Pressure sores should be clean and debreeded and bandaged. Infections, not treated properly can produce more negative effects. Best Wishes In a message dated 2/27/2013 2:40:40 P.M.
