My husband has muscular dystrophy and has gotten a tear in the skin of his butt crack which is quickly becoming an issue. What do I do? He isn t able to be in his wheelchair because of this and he is turned with pillows regularly. I also apply a silver compound made for bedsores.Thank you A. Free
Dear patient For muscular dystrophy no effective treatment is available. Gene therapy is available but has limited application.  Bed sore must have resulted from constant pressure over buttocks. So for healing of bed sore avoid pressure on sore. Ask him to lie in prone position and log rolling every 2 hourly. Daily Chat Doctor.  Please take opinion from expert plastic surgeon and get yourself examined. All the best.
