Suffering from "sitting bedsores" is extremely painful. Sometimes, when taking a shower, the wound breaks and starts bleeding, which can be quite frightening. Scarring is also a distressing issue. So, how can we treat scars caused by bedsores?
【Causes of bedsores】
According to "Waike Qixuan" (a classical Chinese medical text), "Bedsores are mostly caused by sitting on benches for a long time or sitting in hot and humid places, which leads to the stagnation of heat and dampness, resulting in localized skin and muscle congestion."
In simpler terms, if you sit for too long on a chair or a hot and humid floor, especially if your body tends to be damp and hot (which can be influenced by diet, climate, and constitution), and your buttocks do not sweat properly due to your sitting posture, the high temperature and humidity create a breeding ground for bacteria. In response, the body's self-defense mechanism activates, causing "hurting oneself while killing enemies," resulting in bedsores.
【Methods to remove scars caused by bedsores】
Scar removal methods:
- Apply Jixueshan ointment.
- Use vitamin E.
- Apply aloe vera gel.
【Recurrence of bedsores】
The key is to keep your buttocks ventilated, otherwise, even if you apply ointment, the bedsores will still recur.
Avoid sitting on sofas and soft cushions. Instead, use chairs with good ventilation, preferably ones with holes or use a small fan under the chair to force air circulation.
If you frequently travel by car, make sure the car seats are ventilated.
In case of recurrence, disinfect with alcohol or saline, apply Baduobang anti-inflammatory cream, and then apply fish stone resin ointment.
