🦵 Varicose Ulcers: Early Care Leads to Better Healing
A varicose (venous) ulcer is a chronic wound that usually develops near the ankle due to poor blood circulation in the leg veins. Ignoring the early signs can delay healing and increase the risk of infection.
✔️ Watch for:
• A wound that doesn't heal
• Swollen legs
• Brown or dark skin around the ankle
• Pain, itching, or fluid discharge
💙 Early diagnosis, compression therapy, proper wound care, and treatment of the underlying varicose veins can significantly improve healing and reduce recurrence.
