A stage 2 pressure ulcer is characterized by partial-thickness skin loss involving the epidermis and/or dermis. It presents as a shallow open sore that may appear red or pink, without slough, and can also manifest as a blister or abrasion. The surrounding skin may be discolored or warm to the touch, indicating localized inflammation. Proper care and management are essential to promote healing and prevent progression to more severe stages.
