How long does it take to fully heal from skin ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treated, 6-8 wks...: Without treatment, can be 4-6 months or more, sometimes never... With effective treatment by a vein specialist, usually 6-8 weeks... Its the most severe form of venous disease, highly advise see a vein specialist experienced in treating ulcers asap !
