Bed Sores & Homeopathy
ochmadmin Bed sores are common among those who are in a situation where they spend a lot of time in a bed or wheelchair. Since the patient remains in a specific position, the skin and underlying tissue becomes damaged due to a lack of blood flow. When the skin is moist, there is an even grater chance of developing bed sores. They are most commonly seen on the heels, the sacrum, the hips, shoulders, elbows and spine. Symptoms include discolored skin, pain, itching and blisters that result in ulcers. There could be both pus and an offensive odour, which require immediate attention.
