Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. They typically occur when a person remains in one position for an extended period, such as in a hospital bed or wheelchair. Bedsores commonly develop on bony areas of the body like the heels, ankles, hips, and tailbone.
