Re-opened wound

Published

Experts,

         Clarification please!

         I have a stage 3 sacral pressure ulcer that healed 2 years ago, now I have a new redness on the sacrum, is it the same Stage 3?  OR a new pressure ulcer.

Thank you!

Same stage 3.

Exactly. Never down stage. It can now only move to stage 4 or US.
