Some of the bigger hospital have pressure mapping equipment that can measure both heat and pressure. The mat is placed under the buttock and a cord attached to the mat is connected to a computer. The patient is measured in the normal sitting position and in the recline position. The results are documented and available for your doctor. Best Wishes In a message dated 5/16/2014 10:56:20 P.M.

The quad I work for has a callous on his rear which sounds like what you described. His callous is in the shape of a "v " which starts at the top of his crack and somewhat parallels it on the way down. As it goes down each buttocks it fans slightly into a narrow "V". He has had a 4" RoHo cushion which has been a life saver for years. He does, however, recline in his chair a good bit. The back rest is not Roho but a regular J back. I also wondered if this pressure area is due to the head of his bead being up about 45 degrees at night and somehow putting pressure on his rear. It has pealed like a callous similar to what you are describing. Any ideas on the cause and cure?

He went to wound clinics and they kept shaving it etc. saying it looked good bit it would not heal months later His friend(he had a wound heal using this cushion) gave him his cushion, "Ish Dish cushion"http://www.spanamerica.com/isch_dish.php, he said it healed within 2 weeks using it. Now he only uses this to sit on. Changed his life story. maybe it can help others. take care. Best, Shirley Bell =
