Not normal unless...: This is not normal, unless you are overweight, and then the constant pressure while in a seated postilion can cause insidious skin breakdown from lack of proper oxygenated blood flow, thus causing a "bedsore." I can view the pictures, but regardless you need to see the Dr. if you have a bed sore to assure it gets treated and you do not get more,etc. Best wishes.
