Is Bedridden. Developed Sores On Scrotum With Pain And Bleeding. Applied Antibiotic. Suggest?

My husband is 98 % bedridden and he can only stand for 5 or 10 seconds. He has a commode next tp the bed and now he has developed sores in the scrotum... it is oozing and he started bleeding today and he is in a lot of pain. I put in a triple atiobiotic on it. What can you recommend?

I am sorry, I did not know that I had to pay.. I am the only one working and I do not have the money right now. I will call his doctor tomorrow.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having infection took place due to local poor hygiene and remained that part in dumpy condition.
Continue applying cream.
Go for one course of antibiotic after consulting your doctor.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
In this condition possibility of having bed sore are there so change his position frequently to avoid bed sores.
Ok and take care.
