You are presenting with a chronic ulcer. They’re more frequent in older people,heavy weight, high blood pressure, smokers, diabetics.But they can happen in young people because gravity worsens swelling and it could get infected.There are some special conditions that create wounds that don’t heal.It’s important to see the PCP to assess it, wrap it correctly and have follow ups.
