A member asked:
If leg ulcer is found on the front of the leg aprox 10 cm from knee cap, could it still be a veneous ulcer? unusual for my age? but what else?

Abrasion: Venous ulcers usually do not occur in the pretibial area. Is there a scab that could be from a contusion or abrasion? These may take days to weeks to fill in from below and fully heal. A vascular surgeon could be consulted if it isn't healing.

Possibly: This is an unusual location but I have seen a few of these. Evaluation and treatment by a venous specialist would answer the question.
