What does a Stage II pressure ulcer look like?

A Stage II pressure ulcer presents as a partial-thickness skin loss involving the epidermis and possibly the dermis. It may appear as a shallow, open sore with a red or pink wound bed, without slough or necrotic tissue. The ulcer may also manifest as a blister, which can be intact or ruptured. Surrounding skin may be discolored or show signs of irritation.
