Editor's Notes

  1. A reddened area that doesn’t return to normal color after the pressure is removed The reddened area may later become very pale or white, and shiny
  2. Looks like a blister, an abrasion, or a shallow crater The epidermis peels away or cracks open which creates a portal of entry for pathogens The dermis may be partially worn away as well
  3. The epidermis and dermis is gone and the subcutaneous fat may be visible in the crater There may be drainage from the wound
  4. The crater of damaged tissue extends all the way through the tissues to the muscle or bone
