Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pressure ulcers are caused when an area of skin and deeper tissues are compressed between bone and an external surface for an extended period of time, causing a decreased blood supply to the area.

However, the other areas listed (between abdominal folds, under breasts, and between legs and buttocks) are common areas of pressure ulcer development in obese individuals.
