Get him to a doctor or hospital today. Please do not delay. There are a variety of treatments to promote wound healing. Some bedsores require surgery to restore circulation to the affected area. A couple of other treatments used in hospitals: leeches to clean out the dead tissue (yuk), heat lamps - don't try this at home! - and a hyperbaric chamber. I work at a hospital that is known for having the best wound care in the State. The sooner you seek treatment the better the outcome. Bedsores and wounds are a common problem among paraplegics, diabetics and bedridden patients. The best treatment is of course prevention - so please also learn to prevent bedsores and to recognize the first signs of bedsores. There are special beds that are very helpful and preventing bedsores. Many of these beds are allowed by insurance companies because the special beds are cheaper than hospital treatment for bed sores. Also - bedsores are called decubitus ulcers.

He's not in the hospital? Who is taking care of him? If he has bedsores, he needs medical attention---not home remedies. Sounds like that's how he got bedsores in the first place-being at home. Please get him to the hospital. Bedsores are very serious and once they become infected they can become gangrenous and the patient dies.
