Even when a person is not bedridden but can only stand or walk for a short period, they can still have compromised (lessened) circulation to the skin. [[Treat Bedsores|Determining the stage]] of the raw skin is crucial to the treatment. It is important to relieve pressure from the end of the spine and off of the buttock as much as possible while in bed and sitting. Re-position the person frequently using pillows and other props (at least every two hours, if not more often). Depending on the stage and exact location of the raw skin, you may try using an inflatable donut for sitting. Please seek advice from a doctor to help you determine the best route to take.
