So I recently had my first pressure sore, yay me!! no jokes aside it’s healing nicely and I expect to be done with this within the week. I’m just wondering if it’s gonna have some lasting effects. Will I have to worry about the spot for the rest of my life? Is it prone to opening again? Or is it just once it’s healed it’s good. Any advices would be much appreciated.

is this a pressure sore or some type of diaper rash

So I’m quadriplegic and I don’t really feel the area. The skin around is not red or softer to the touch. This is right under my left butt cheek and this area is constantly covered by a diaper. I’ve never had something like this before, so I don’t know what to do.

There’s no redness around it, so I’m questioning myself as I’ve never had one before. Do I just immediately stop using my chair and stay in bed for a week or what? this is under my left leg.
