My father has been bedridden for over 15 years and developed bed sores on both buttocks in the last 5 years. We do daily dressings but now the sores are turning black. He's also had fever for the past 23 days. We're in Pune and not considering surgery since he's handicapped and can't move. Could you suggest a good doctor to treat this? Attached his haemogram report for reference.

Given the severity of your father's condition, with black sores and a prolonged fever, seeking professional medical attention is crucial. Since you're in Pune and not considering surgery, you'll need to find a doctor specializing in wound care or geriatric medicine.
