The second stage of decubitusconsiders a partial-thickness skin injury, which may involve both the epidermis and dermis. However, it remains a superficial wound and may present as a normal abrasion.
The third stage of decubitusdetects a full-thickness skin lesion with subcutaneous tissue involvement.
