See doctor: If you have a venous stasis ulcer and chronic venous insufficiency, i would recommend seeing your primary care provider. You may need a wound care clinic referral, where the ulcer can be debrided, topical agents to promote healing may be suggested, and dressings can be applied. Your doctor may recommend Aspirin to promote healing of chronic venous ulcers.

Maybe, especially if: you sit or stand immobile for long periods. Main advantage of being off work is the ability to elevate your legs at will and perhaps use a mechanical compression device. You should definitely consult a vein specialist. Venous ulcers can often be completely cured or dramatically improved by treating the underlying cause. Patients generally miss little or no work during such treatment.
