Tips to prevent pressure sores
The following tips can help to prevent pressure sores:

Relieving direct pressure
change position and keep moving as much as possible
stand up to relieve pressure if you can
ask your carer to reposition you regularly if you can't move
change position at least every 2 hours
use special pressure relieving mattresses and cushions
don't drag your heels or elbows when moving in your bed or chair
Skincare
keep your skin clean and dry
avoid scented soaps as they can be more drying
moisturise your skin thoroughly after washing
avoid using talcum powder as this dries the skins natural oils
keep your skin well moisturised
General tips
make sure the bedsheets are smooth and not wrinkled when you are lying in bed
sheets should be cotton or silk like fabric
eat a well balanced diet
have at least 2 litres of fluid a day
tell your doctor or nurse if you notice any skin changes or discomfort as soon as possible
