Bedsores — also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers — are injuries to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin.

Bedsores most often develop on skin that covers bony areas of the body, such as the heels, ankles, hips and tailbone.

People most at risk of bedsores are those with a medical condition that limits their ability to change positions, requires them to use a wheelchair or confines them to a bed for a long time.

Bedsores can develop quickly and are often difficult to treat. Several things can help prevent some bedsores and help with healing.

Being stuck in bed would be bad enough, but getting one of these ontop of being bed ridden would be nasty

If a patient is bedridden and isn't moved very regularly this is the result. In immune compromised patients and diabetics, healing is often near impossible and it simply can't be treated. This is not uncommon, sadly.
