Stage 2: Partial skin loss involving the epidermis, dermis, or both. The ulcer is superficial and clinically appears as a scratch or pustule.
Stage 3: Full loss of skin, which includes destruction or necrosis of underlying tissues, without cavitation.
Stage 4: Extensive skin destruction, tissue necrosis or muscle and bone destruction, cavernous formation.
