Best Answer

Bedsores often appear on bony protrusions of your body in contact with underlying bedding. These places have less blood-supply than other places, because more of your body's weight is carried here.

Places prone to bedsores:
Shoulder blades
Elbows
Heels
The coccyx
ect.

Beginning sign: slight reddening of the skin. Perhaps slight feeling of pain. Secondary blisters will evolve.
Bedsores are not to be taken lightly.
A bedsore gone wild can and will kill an already weakened patient.
This is why so much time and energy goes into prevention contra treatment.
