(stage 1) The skin is red. does not return. not normal. relief of pressure. (stage 2) Skin is blistered, peeling, cracked. damage is still minor. (stage 3) skin may be damaged. drainage. it may be seen. (stage 4) Deep crater-like ulcers, full thickness of skin. tissues are destroyed. now you have been diagnosed. now you know you're option-less. the only choice is to go underneath the knife. sedation. face the knife or meet DEATH.
