The patient needs debridement immediately. Please visit a surgeon for debridement and dressing. The condition of the patient will worsen as this is a source of infection.
Next Steps
Keep the back and pressure points dry & cushioned, and turn the patient to the side every two hours. You can get a water mattress also as this will help prevent further bed sores
