Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are localized injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure, especially over bony areas like the heels, hips, and lower back. They are common in individuals with limited mobility, such as elderly patients, bedridden individuals, or those recovering from surgery or chronic illness.
Prevention and proper care are critical to avoid the progression of pressure ulcers. Contributing factors include poor circulation, immobility, nutritional deficiencies, and certain vascular or dermatological conditions. Symptoms range from mild redness and tenderness to open wounds, blistering, or changes in skin color.
