Bed sores, also known as skin ulcers, occur when certain parts of
the body such as the tailbone, elbows, buttocks or heels are put
under pressure causing the skin to break down and become infected.

and affect the bone beneath. This can cause infection to the bone,
and can even necessitate amputation if not treated. However, bed
sores are entirely preventable with proper medical care and
treatment.
