I had a coccyx pressure sore which showed up in November 2007. It bloody-well took forever to heal but has left a callus in it's place which I'm not particularly happy about. I've become irritated by it a few times and 'picked' it off but it just grows back. I scrub it with a luffa sponge but it hasn't really helped. I've put a blob of vasoline on it at night and covered with gauze and that seems to have helped 'a bit'. Any other suggestions?

Hey CG,
Be happy yours HEALED! I've got a crazy flap scar where mine was surgically repaired. So, please be kind to it. Your skin was compromised by the sore, and isn't as strong as it once was. Lotion is definately your best bet. An OBGYN nurse suggested to me some kind of rubbing ointment used on stretch marks for the skin. I think it's a lot like Vasoline, though.
Go easy on it, okay?--no picking!

The same thing happened to a sore on my heal. It was a blister/pressure sore combination, but it's definitely callused now.
It's kind of like playing guitar or the drums, the calluses just make your skin tough.
I welcome them, but I don't know how I'd like to have one anywhere else besides my feet or hands.
