2. Eschar - dark, hardened, dead tissue. 3. Friction - the rubbing of one surface against another. 4. Necrosis - tissue death. 5. Pressure ulcer - an area where the skin and underlying tissues are eroded due to pressure that interferes with circulation. 6. Shearing - takes place when the skin moves one way while the bone and tissue under the skin move another way.
