Ordered A Bidet To Manage Skin Break Down From Using A Power Wheelchair
[ Tuesday September 28th 2021 at 9:12 pm ]

I have just ordered a bidet. What lead me to this decision is to better manage the skin break down within the fold of skin on my bum. This is a side effect of using a power wheelchair for mobility. The bidet I purchased is a high end model. It has a UV sterilization light for the water spout, an on demand water heater and a warm air dryer. The warm air dryer will help prevent future break down since it will be dry after being washed and not the harmful use of toilet paper on fragile skin. This is the best intervention possible. There is an antibiotic cream I have to manage this. However the risk exists of building up immunity. If I am able to cut back using even some of the cream this will have proven worth while.
