A pressure ulcer is a breakdown of skin and underlying
tissue that develops when you are bedridden or have to stay
in one position for a long time. Pressure ulcers can occur
if you lie in bed or sit in a chair for long periods of time
without shifting your weight. They may also be caused by
rubbing or friction on the skin.
