Symptoms of a Leg Ulcer

Leg ulcers include open wounds or unhealed sores on your legs. They are often caused by poor blood circulation associated with different conditions. Women tend to be at a higher risk than men, but people of all age groups can be affected. If you seek early treatments, leg ulcers may improve without further complications. Otherwise, these sores may keep occurring. Typical symptoms to notice include enlarged veins, leg swelling, pain and pus in the affected area, open sores, or heaviness in your legs. [3]
