Hello fellow CALS,
I woke up to a nasty surprise yesterday morning. The caregiver who was showering my husband pointed out that between his legs, deep in the crease between leg and groin, was a widening red spot that smelled and is oozing and a bit bloody. Of course, I was mortified as the main caregiver in that I had not noticed it at all. So, we cleaned it up, put cornstarch to absorb moisture, and finally put polysporin on it.
This afternoon, it seemed much less red and was no longer stinky. However, now the other side of his groin is starting to bleed. Have any of you battled this and, if so, how did you keep this from happening?
