Understanding the Skin Breakdown

Minor scrapes, cuts, rips, abrasions, or burns can all result from skin breakdown. A minor skin breakdown is limited to the top layer of skin and is caused by friction, slippage, wetness, or pressure. Skin breakdown presents itself as red or purple spots on fair skin and purple, blue, or deeper patches on dark skin. Skin breakdown spots do not disappear after 20 minutes. The spot also does not become lighter or blancher when you press it with your finger. It may feel warmer or cooler than the surrounding skin.

Ms. Johnson, who was presented in the question, was experiencing a spinal cord injury and had to lie in bed all the time.
