Boudreau's butt past: Boudreau's butt paste is the best first level treatment for pressure sores -often found in the baby department, since it is primarily used for diaper rash. A granular ointment helps to promote healing. There are several prescription remedies if the sore is persistant and not healing. Please consult with your health care professional.

No magic pill...: Pressure ulcers are a symptom of a larger problem. There is no specific medical treatment for them. Treatment is supportive.

Pressure relief!: Pressure sores require relief of pressure--offloading at least 10 minutes every 2 hours. Once pressure necrosis occurs, however, treatment requires debridement of dead tissue, wound care to avoid or treat infection if present, and a moist environment to assist healing. Numerous medications, gels, and pastes exist, but none are magic. Some silver compounds help minimize bacteria; fecal soilage bad!
