Stage 1: just erythema of the skin.
Stage 2: erythema with the loss of partial thickness of the skin including epidermis and part of the superficial dermis.
Stage 3: full thickness ulcer that might involve the subcutaneous fat.
Stage 4: full thickness ulcer with the involvement of the muscle or bone.
