Hi, I had a decube on my ischial area in 1982, after 2 surgeries I was doing OK. I have had occasioal breakdows until reently, the past 5 years lets say. I'm 50 years old, that doesn't help, I have an area on my ischium where it's skin on bone that breaks down often, I know that's inevitable. I use Vigilon on that area, next to it, the inner aspect of my high thigh (near my testicals) I've been getting two raised areas about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches long by 1/4 inch and about 1/4 inch apart in paralell formation. This is in the past 6 mos., they look like scar tisssue, but are sometimes filled with fluid. Two days ago they came up again, red this time and then they both broke open, I'm using Calmoseptine ointment, Hydrocortizone, and Nystatine/triamcinalone ointment all prescibed by my dermatologst. The first 2 seem to help except this time, I'm not getting any response. They are now pink.

I sit on a Roho Quatro which gets hot and I sweat, but none of my doctors seem to understand that this is chronic and have no real solutions. I'm going to a seating clinic next month, not soon enough. I've been in bed for 2 days and its not clearing up, do you you have any great and woderful ideas.

Also, I have asolutely no problems on my otherside, left breaks down, rght never does.

Thanks,

R
