Hi All,
Hopefully someone will have some answers to our newest issue. As you all know I'm working on avoiding shearing with moving Brian around in the bed. We are doing better, but now I have a new issue.
Over the last couple of weeks, worst was today, when bathing him, his backside the skin like sluffs off. Not to open sores, just like the top layer. It almost like a snake molting, but not in one piece.
At first I thought it was the A&D w/zinc, and that was what I was washing off. So, the last couple of times, I just used plain A&D, and today was the worst. The skin under is bright pink, but does not appear to be an infection. What's coming off seems to be dead whitish gray in color.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? He prefers to be bathed every other day due to the turning issues, so it's not like it's been sitting for any great length of time.
Thanks so much.
Hugs,
Sue
