Venous stasis ulcers develop when blood struggles to flow back up from the legs to the heart, causing pressure buildup that damages skin - usually around the lower leg or ankle. They're often slow-healing and prone to recurring.
Swelling in the lower legs or ankles
Skin discoloration (reddish-brown) around the ankle
A shallow, irregularly shaped wound
Aching or heaviness in the legs, especially after standing
Treatment typically centers on compression therapy to improve circulation, along with wound care to support closure and reduce the chance of recurrence.
