My husband was a cancer patient and received both chemo & radiation simultaneously. He had no energy and was confined to a recliner when he developed pressure sores on his buttocks. I had a regiment of cleaning the sores with wound care solution and slathered the sores with Desitin and kept it covered with disposable underwear. The Desitin did a great job healing the sores quickly and even his oncologist at Hopkins was surprised how quickly they healed.
