What could i do for bed sores on my legs ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
#1 stop pressure: There is no magic cure for pressure sores. The solution is to minimize pressure. Some have advocated the use of medical grade honey to lower the incidence of infection but this will not cure the sore. Simple wound care with cetaphil soap and a moist dressing changed twice a day is usually adequate.

Avoid pressure: Avoid pressure on the area and protect your feet from shearing against the sheets with pads.
