Bedsores - also called pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers

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 have medical conditions that limit their ability to change positions or cause them to spend most of their time in a bed or chair.

Bedsores can develop over hours or days. Most sores heal with treatment, but some never heal completely. You can take steps to help prevent bedsores and help them heal.

Common sites of pressure ulcers

For people who use wheelchairs, bedsores often occur on skin over the following sites:

  • Tailbone or buttocks
  • Shoulder blades and spine
  • Backs of arms and legs where they rest against the chair

For people who need to stay in bed, bedsores may happen on:

  • The back or sides of the head
  • The shoulder blades
  • The hip, lower back or tailbone
  • The heels, ankles and skin behind the knees
