Suffer From Bed Sores. Using Neosporin. Yellowish Discharge On The Skin. Need Urgent Care?
my mom is 84 and has 2 bed sores? on her butt, but they don t look like the pictures of bedsores on the website. The top layer of skin is gone and it is bleeding . I put neosporin on it and gauze with tape and I noticed when I took the gauze off there was something yellow on the pad. Do I need to take her to the Er?
