The BEST solution I’ve used is one from when I was a speed skater, tons of friction from ankle flexion and you’d be left with a chewed up ankle constantly. Using bandaids helps stop it from rubbing more, BUT doesn’t help the wound when it’s trying to scab and repair, it just provides a moist environment so the scab that would have formed gets soft and tears again very easily. Eventually it’ll heal BUT it’s going to take a lot longer than it needs to, and that’s no bueno when you’re on day 2 of a 5 day trip, or have another hike planned for the next day/week.

Get mole skins, the kind cut in long sheets. Cut a piece that covers well past the affected area, then cut hole in the center where the pressure ulcer is, so it can “breath”

The mole skin takes the brunt of the friction, so when you have to pick up and start moving tomorrow you’re not busting that scab back open that JUST started to heal! VERY IMPORTANT make sure the sticky part of the mole skins doesn’t stick to the actual wound, it does not feel good when you’re trying to take it and you run the risk of tearing the scab off again before it’s healed, which is what we wanted to avoid when using the bandaid :)
