Leg ulcers: There are a number of different types of leg ulcers. Some called venous stasis ulcers can be due to worn out valves. Others say called pyoderma gangrenosum have an entirely different cause and treatment but may appear similar. Have your doctor send you to see a vascular surgeon. Ulcers are a coomon treatment problem for them and he/she should be able to sort it out for you.
