Business Description
Chronic venous insufficiency is the most common cause of ulcers affecting the legs. Venous leg ulcers occur mainly just above the ankle. They can lead to disability that inevitably leads to significantly diminished quality of life.Venous leg ulcers typically start as areas of dark, reddish-brown skin pigmentation. The high pressure in the leg veins due to valve malfunctioning leads to chronic inflammation. There may also be discolored or hardened skin around the ulcer, and the sore may produce a foul-smelling discharge. These areas may be very painful and sensitive to touch. White scar tissue may also develop in these areas.
