Dressing is required only once in a day.
This wound will take long time to heal and your patience.
Keep the patient always on a “ karwat “ and never flat even if you are using air bed.

Yes. There are ways to treat bedsore. Visit a plastic surgeon for surgical treatment if the patient is fit for anaesthesia.

Also there is negative pressure dressing by some agents costing around 5 to 8 k for 5 days dressing which can also help fast healing
