pressure ulcer self care

Pressure ulcers are a type of sore. This occurs when a exceeds the blood flow through its area, for an extended period. This can happen when somebody sitting too long in the same place or lying. They may occur alone or in clusters and they are often very painful, easily becoming infected if not looked after properly. If you or someone is developing a pressure ulcer, there are vital things which can be done to prevent and treat the wounds in your own home.

Shift Your Body: When you are sitting or lying for a long time, it is very important to move and shift your body (or someone else's). That is to say, changing your place. This action takes pressure off of potential high-sore areas of the body as well. For instance, if you are seated then get up and do some walk or change your seating position.

A Guide

Keep the Skin Clean, and Dry: To prevent sores from forming it is very important that you keep your skin clean and dry. This implies having baths or showers as often as possible to keep the dirt and sweat away. It is also need to moisture the skin like applying lotion so it will not dry and crack. It can be even worse if you have dry skin because the lack of moisture will make sores come to life.

Maintain a Healthy Diet: Another way to prevent pressure ulcers is by eating the right types of foods. Proper diet helps to keep your skin strong and healthy. When a cold sore develops, eating foods that are high in nutrients like vitamins and minerals can help the body to heal faster. This means that being sure to eat enough fruits, vegetables and whole grains will provide benefits for your well-being in general.
