Suggest Treatment For Large Sores On One Side Of Buttock?

Sure, my sister has large sores on one side of her but, she has had major hip surgery and is not recovering very well, the doctor gave her a medication for shingles, they are a lot larger and are raised around the edges and spreading, makes her feel bad and itches very bad? Any suggestions?

Hi,
It seems that she might be having non healing wound with super added fungal infection.
Go for proper cleaning and removing debris and then dressing with triple acting cream.
It is better to do dressing by doctor only.
Keep wound and site dry, clean and airy.
Ok and take care.
