A venous ulcer / wound is a wound due to vein and blood flow issues and often occurs on your legs near your ankle. Venous ulcers occur when oxygen-poor blood can’t flow from your extremities back to your heart. Instead, it pools, creating pressure in your veins. This damages skin tissue and leads to an ulcer. These wounds need a multifaceted approach to obtain healing. It is essential when a wound starts to seek medical help and start early active treatment. Early treatment with a comprehensive approach leads to the most successful outcomes.
