Pressure Sores
Pressure sores, also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers, are injuries to skin and underlying tissue due to prolonged pressure. Common in individuals with limited mobility, pressure sores can develop on bony areas like heels, elbows, and the sacrum. Prevention includes regular repositioning and maintaining skin hygiene.
