Hi every one,
I currently live with my mother in law who was diagnosed with dementia a year ago and appears to be in stage 2.
For the past 6 months she is been picking at her face which has led to several open wounds and an infection. We speak to her about it when she is doing it and she gets angry and denies that she has done it even though we have witnessed her doing it.
We have tried to dress it to stop her from scratching at them but she pulls them and is convinced she has stitched in her face from 60yrs ago even though the doctor has told her there are no stitches.
Has any one else had to deal with issue?
Thank you
