Off weight : The area. Pressure is what causes them hence reduction or elimination of the sores is what is going to heal them. If there is a blister it should be drained, or dead or devitalized tissue it might need to be debrided or cut away (by a doctor.).

Bedsores: Bedsores are due to pressure over bony prominences. The best way to prevent bedsores, once they occur, is to keep pressure of these areas. That means that you need to constantly move the person into different positions to relieve the pressure. Seeking professional help like with a wound center is a great option since depending on the depth, stage and location of the uler, your options will differ.
