Leg ulcer: It would be a good idea to get a second opinion about this problem. You should have a check up and be sure you do not have another illness e.g. Diabetes.

See vein specialist: Leg ulcers are often caused by chronic venous insufficiency which is a problem that causes to much pressure to be in the veins near the skin. A venous specialist can diagnose and treat this condition. Our cure rate with venous ulcers is 97%. If it is infected I would recommend seeing a physician ASAP as these infections can progress quickly due to poor circulation.
