How can I prevent bed sores?

Condition analysis:
Bed sores can be prevented in a few different ways. To reduce prevent constant pressure in bed, consider using Spenco's Silicore bed pad. This bed pad uses moisture-resistant nylon that doesn't mat down and protects pressure-prone areas of the body. Bed-ridden patients can also use Hollister's Heelbo heel and elbow protectors and SWT Heel, foot & ankle protectors. These protectors are made of comfortable, non-latex materials and reduce the pressure for areas of the body prone to bed sores. For patients who use a wheelchair, consider a sheepskin seat cover and arm rest.

When incontinence is a risk factor in a patient, use BAZA Antifungal and Calmoseptine Ointment to reduce the possibility of a bed sore. FNC's moisture barrier cream can also be useful in preventing bed. For skin that is beginning to show signs of a bed sore, but hasn't broken, use a Castile soap to gently wash the skin.

Instructions:
1) Turmeric Powder:
Some people have sprinkled turmeric powder on affected skin to disinfect a pressure sore.

2) Drink Water:
When you drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water, you will keep the skin soft, as well as promote the removal of dead tissue.

3) Quit Your Vices:
Bad habits can make bedsores worse. Smoking causes dry skin and reduced blood supply to the skin. For that reason Grandma recommends you use her tips to stop smoking. The healing process also slows down when you smoke tobacco products.  Drinking caffeinated drinks, such as tea and coffee, should also decrease.
