I have had a problem for 6 months it srted as a tiny slit about 1cm long. Almost like tinea just near my tailbone. I became a paraplegic 3 years ago and assumed too much sitting. So would spend a few days in bed on my side then get back into my chair. This pattern went on for 3 months and each time I got up for a few hours, reached out for something or stretched the area it got worse. Now it is 5cm long. 1.5cm wide and about the same in depth. No longer a split but a deep Long gaping wound. I saw a dermatologist who sat it was not a dermatology issue and needed surgical review and would have to stay out of my chair completely . That was 5 weeks ago. So I have been in bed on my side 5 weeks. Thankfully with air mattress. Despite not even getting up to toilet, it has not healed. Thankfully, never thought would say this at my age as youngish, am in a nursing home as no other place to meet care needs. I see the surgeon finally on two days so hoping for a solution in the meantime they have been applying manuka honey 30 strength daily with a dressing, which has wonderful healing properties (for those with a similar prob) unfortunately I left mine too long though but it has prevented infection which as u can imagine is a serious issue in that area and was before we started using it.
Anyone with same problem got other ideas?
