How big can pressure sores get? i have never seen a pressure sore. how large are they capable of getting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very Large.: Pressure sores left untreated, can become extremely large. For example, I have seen pressure ulcers that span the entire width of the patient's back, sacrum, or buttuck areas.
