A member asked:
How much time will a venous ulcer using compression bandages take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Temporary fix: Venous ulcers are the result of major underlying venous disease which usually can be corrected. If done properly, the ulcers will heal in most cases and rarely return. Compression can heal ulcers but 40% of them return in the first year.
