What Are Bed Sores?
Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, are painful skin wounds caused by prolonged pressure on specific areas of the body. They commonly develop in bedridden or immobile patients, affecting areas like the heels, back, hips, and tailbone.
Causes of Bed Sores
Bed sores occur due to:
✔ Prolonged Pressure – Restricts blood flow to the skin.
✔ Friction & Shear – Repeated rubbing weakens the skin.
✔ Poor Circulation – Common in diabetics and elderly individuals.
✔ Lack of Movement – Patients with limited mobility are at higher risk.
Symptoms of Bed Sores
🚨 Redness and swelling in the affected area.
🚨 Skin breakdown, blisters, or open wounds.
🚨 Pain, tenderness, and foul-smelling discharge in severe cases.
