Suggest Treatment For Severe Pressure In The Waist

I have had what I believe to be a pressure sore on my waistline right beside my navel, for almost 2 years. When it occured, I had been wearing a pair of jeans, and right underneath where the snap closure was, I got a raw spot/open wound. It will not heal due to the fact that most of my cloths(underwear, pants, skirts) add a little pressure to the area. Also, I DO have a belly, so the wound is buried in the roll, which I believe contributes to the issue. Is there anything that I can use to expedite the healing of this wound? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you

Hello,

I have studied your case history.

Hydroheal gel is good for early healing.
You can also use oxum spray.
Clean the wound with betadine and give dressing.
If wound is large you may need medical check up.
.
Clinical examination is important to rule out any internal injury.
So consult your treating doctor.
For these symptoms analgesic and medication can be started.
