Leg Ulcers Treatment
in Springfield, MO
Leg ulcers are open sores that develop on the skin of the legs, usually around the ankles or lower calves. They occur when the veins function incorrectly, leading to swelling and poor blood flow. The skin breaks down, forming painful sores that are difficult to heal. If left untreated, these chronic wounds can last several weeks or many years. They are more common in older adults and people with certain medical conditions that affect leg circulation.
