I’m wondering if any experts out there can help me. I have a patient in home care that has a deep purple blanchable area to the bilateral buttocks with scattered areas of abrasion and scattered areas of ridges. Over the past few weeks it has neither improved or deteriorated.
I just recently read an article on a new type of injury/wound called Chronic Tissue Injury but I can find a treatment for it. Currently I’m just using a sacral foam dressing to provide pressure relief and instructing the patient to get up frequently throughout the day. But is there anything else I can do.

if anyone is interested in the article.
thank you
