Know Your Symptoms and Complications
Typically, bedsores are pretty obvious when they develop. They include symptoms like red and pink colors, tender skin, temperature changes, small wounds, deeper wounds, and even a complete penetration of all your skin’s layers. Infections may also happen if you’re not careful, so taking this type of wound care very seriously with our team of experts is critical.
Complications of bedsores include:
- Bacterial infections, including the risk of meningitis or endocarditis
- Bone and joint infections that could threaten your life
- Flesh-eating bacterial infections that may spread rapidly
- Extreme pain, inflammation, and foul smells

Our bedsore wound care for Cary, Charlotte, Durham, Wilmington, and Clayton, NC, residents include biopsies, blood cultures, tests, X-rays, and MRIs to gauge the full extent of your bedsore. Knowing what we’re up against is at least half the battle.
Treatments include:
- Irrigating and cleaning the wound to prevent infections and worsening symptoms
- Dressing it to help promote healing and to keep out bacteria further
- Removing dead tissue to reduce your danger of necrotic flesh
- Applying ointments that can further remove dead flesh from your body
- Providing antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and pain relievers
