Moleskin and bedsores

[Guest guest]

Hi; I noticed Courage recommended Moleskin and I had been wondering if

Moleskin would work. Glad to know it does. Do you apply it directly

to the sore or over gauze? My husband is still in a Transitional

Care Unit but he either will go full time into a NH or I bring him

home. I have decided on the latter. I can't give him the care he

gets in a good NH but I think he is getting worse mentally where he

is. He wants to be home so somehow we will make it work. He is

fighting bedsores, and so far between the turning and the zinc

ointment and the care, he is okay. But if I need to I am glad I can

turn to my old friend, Moleskin. I suggest that if you are using

it, try a good sporting goods store specializing in hiking. I used to

buy it in large sheets much cheaper than I could in a pharmacy. It

works great with foot blisters.
