What are Ulcers?
Ulcers are wounds or open sores that will not heal or
keep returning.
What are the symptoms of ulcers?
Ulcers may or may not be painful. The patient generally
has a swollen leg and may feel burning or itching. There
may also be a rash, redness, brown discoloration or dry,
scaly skin.
Venous stasis ulcers (Leg Ulcers)
Venous ulcers are located below the knee and are
primarily found on the inner part of the leg, just above the
ankle.
The base of a venous ulcer is usually red. It may also be
covered with yellow fibrous tissue or there may be a green
or yellow discharge if the ulcer is infected. Fluid
drainage can be significant with this type of ulcer.
The borders of a venous ulcer are usually irregularly
shaped and the surrounding skin is often discolored and
swollen. It may even feel warm or hot. The skin may
appear shiny and tight, depending on the amount of edema
(swelling). The skin may also have brown or purple
discoloration about the lower leg, known as "stasis skin
changes."
Venous stasis ulcers are common in patients who have a
history of leg swelling, long standing varicose veins, or a
history of blood clots in either the superficial or the deep
veins of the legs.
Ulcers may affect one or both legs.
