Aggressive treatment: Venous ulcers can be healed but they require many combined modalities of treatment. The most important factor is to treat the cause of the problem which is the high venous pressure due to mafunctioning valves. This can be done with catheter ablation. Next the wound must be cleaned and kept clean, compression bandages or stockings are necessary and, most importantly, see a vein specialist.
