Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers, occur when the skin and tissue are damaged due to prolonged pressure. They often form on bony areas like the hips, tailbone, heels, or elbows. Continuous pressure limits blood flow, causing skin breakdown. Factors like friction, skin rubbing against bedding or chairs, and moisture from sweat or incontinence increase the risk. Preventing bedsores is essential for caregivers, as it involves regular repositioning, using supportive cushions, and maintaining clean, dry skin. Understanding how bedsores develop helps caregivers provide better care and improve the comfort of their loved ones during recovery or long-term care.
