My mother got a bedsore when she was in the hospital. At that time it was purple in color. She was sent home and I have been taking care of her. The color of the sore went from purple to dark pink. I have been changing the bandage every 5 days. She now has the flu too after leaving the hospital a few weeks later. Now all of the sudden the middle of the sore has white puss the size of a 50 cent piece. It is dark pink around. I think it looks worse as their was not puss and it concave a little where the puss is coming out. I have cleaned it and put a bandage again. What should I do? Should I take her to a clinic? or Some type of specialty doctor? Please advise me? Her health history is Alzheimers, Diabetic, Cirrhosis of Liver due to Heart Failure.

Yes, wound care specialist. Maybe home health nurse can come in several times a week to help treat and suggest ideas to help improve and heal area. Elder tissues are very sensitive and difficult to heal. i"m sure others here will have some good advice to try.

Do you have a home health service that visits regularly to check on mom? If so, call their RN advice line. If not, I agree you should call her doctor about getting her seen ASAP.

at the health food store get some colloidal silver gel. my friend use this to heal his moms bed sores. he would pack the gel into the sore and put a soft bandage over it. check it every few hours and do again. it heals from the inside out and the gel pulls the sore together. spray her with colloidal silver also on top of this. the bed sore cleared up pretty fast. he swears by it. good luck

Take her to a wound specialist. My son in law, a doctor, told me it was important to use a wound care specialist if mom ever gets a pressure ulcer. We have been lucky so far.

Pressure sores are like icebergs, the bulk of the damaged tissue is below the surface. Ask her doctor the fastest way to get her seen by a wound care specialist.
