Pressure ulcers are a common health problem affecting patients who have limited mobility or remain bedridden or in wheelchairs for prolonged periods. These ulcers occur due to continuous pressure on the skin and body tissues, leading to blood vessel damage and reduced blood flow, resulting in ulcer formation.
Pressure ulcers mainly develop from continuous pressure on certain body areas such as the heels, buttocks, back, and ankles. Their severity increases with other factors like poor nutrition, dry skin, and chronic diseases such as diabetes.
Symptoms include persistent skin redness, pain or itching, open sores or blisters, and in advanced cases, ulcers may extend deep into tissues and bones.
