Venous Leg Ulcers

Venous leg ulcers are the most common type of skin ulcer, and typically appear just above the ankle – resulting from poor circulation and increased blood pressure in lower leg veins. While both genders are at risk for developing these abnormal vein conditions at some point in their lives, leg ulcers are most frequently seen in older women. Warning signs and symptoms of leg ulcers include swelling, dry red skin, burning or itching sensations, and raw/weeping wounds.

In many cases, leg ulcers develop from poorly cared for or untreated varicose veins. However, they can also develop as a result of blood clots, multiple pregnancies, obesity, or prolonged periods of standing. There are a number of viable treatment options available, including compression bandages that squeeze to the leg to help reduce swelling and increase blood flow.

At Varicose to Perfect, we provide our patients with proper assessment of venous leg ulcers and other common skin conditions that result from valve malfunctions and other circulatory problems. Using a series of diagnostic tests, our experienced staff will develop a comprehensive leg ulcer treatment plan specifically for you, and help your legs get back to looking and feeling their best.
