What Is a Decubitis Ulcer?
A decubitus ulcer, also known as a pressure ulcer, pressure sore, or bed sore, is an open wound on your skin. Decubitis ulcers often occur on the skin covering bony areas. The most common places for a decubitis ulcer are your:
hips
back
ankles
buttocks
This condition is common among:
elderly people
disabled people
people who spend long periods in bed or a wheelchair
people who can’t move certain body parts without help
people with fragile skin
The condition is highly treatable and recovery is good with proper diagnosis.

STAGES
Stages of Decubitus Ulcers
Decubitus ulcers occur in stages. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP)
has a staging process to help your doctor diagnose and treat you:
Stage 1
The skin isn’t broken, but it’s discolored. The area may appear red if you have a light complexion. The discoloration may vary from blue to purple if you have a dark complexion. It may appear white.
Stage 2
The skin is open and shows signs of some tissue death around the wound. The ulcer is shallow with a red pink wound bed. There might also be a blister filled with fluid.
Stage 3
The ulcer is much deeper within the skin. It affects your fat layer and looks like a crater. There also might be something that looks like pus in the sore.
Stage 4
Many layers are affected in this stage, including your muscle and bone. A dark substance called “eschar” may be inside the sore.
Unstageable
The ulcer may be yellow or green. It can be soft and look like pus, or it can have a brown scab covering. If the damage to your tissue layers is extensive, it will need to be removed. However, if the covering of the ulcer is dry and stable, it shouldn’t be removed because it’s your body’s natural layer of protection.
CAUSES
What Causes a Decubitus Ulcer?
Pressure is one of the main causes of a decubitus ulcer. Lying on a certain part of your body for long periods may cause your skin to break down. Your skin is thinner in places next to bone or cartilage, and your hips, heels, and tailbone are especially vulnerable to pressure sores.
Decubitus ulcers can also happen when you scrape or rub your skin against a hard or rough surface. Friction burns on the skin may damage the outermost layer of skin cells, called the “epidermis.”
Wearing soiled clothing or undergarments for long periods may create open sores on the skin. This may irritate the delicate outer skin layer.

RISK FACTORS
Who Is at Risk for a Decubitus Ulcer?
There are a number of risk factors for decubitus ulcers:
You may be at risk if you can’t move or change positions by yourself while lying in bed or sitting in a wheelchair.
Your skin may be more fragile and delicate if you’re an older adult, which can put you at increased risk.
Poor eating habits or not getting enough nutrients in your diet may influence the condition of your skin, which can increase your risk. This includes not drinking enough water to keep your skin hydrated and to prevent dryness.
Conditions like diabetes may restrict your blood circulation, which can cause tissue destruction in your skin and increase your risk.
SYMPTOMS
What Are the Symptoms of a Decubitus Ulcer?
Each stage of a decubitus ulcer has different symptoms. Depending on the stage, you may have any of the following:
skin discoloration
pain in the affected area
infection
open skin
skin that doesn’t lighten to the touch
skin that is softer or firmer than the surrounding skin

DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosing a Decubitus Ulcer
Your doctor may refer you to a wound care team of doctors, specialists, and nurses experienced in treating pressure sores. The team may evaluate your ulcer based on several things. These include:
the size and depth of your ulcer
the type of tissue directly affected by your ulcer, such as skin, muscle, or bone
the color of the skin affected by your ulcer
the amount of tissue death that occurs from your ulcer
the condition of your ulcer, such as presence of infection, foul odor, and bleeding
Your doctor may take samples of the fluids and tissue in your decubitus ulcer. In addition, they may look for signs of bacteria growth and cancer.
TREATMENT
Treating a Decubitus Ulcer
Your treatment will depend on the stage of your ulcer. Treatment can include medications, therapies, and even surgery.
Antibacterial drugs may treat the infection. You may also receive medication to relieve or reduce any discomfort.
A process to remove dead tissue called “debridement” is an option for cleaning your wound.
Keeping the site clean and free of debris is important to promote healing. Your doctor may order frequent dressing changes of your wound.

Drp ur numba here

Necrotising fasciitis. That's what i think it is from what i can see from the picture. It's an infection which leads to the death of the soft tissues of the body. It enters through a cut or burn in the skin. It just eats (destroy) into skins, fats and muscles up to the bones. That's why it is also called FLESH EATING BACTERIA

You should take your father to a good hospital with a knowledgeable Doctor. It is rare but very serious and 1 out of every 4 persons who catch the infection die.

It can be treated if diagnosed very early.

Whoever takes care of your dad should have a doctor also examine them and give them suitable antibiotics. And they should practice adequate hygiene after care of your dad.
