Venous & Arterial Ulcer Treatment Q&A

What Are Venous and Arterial Ulcers?

Venous ulcers are shallow, slow-healing wounds that develop due to poor blood flow in the leg veins, often caused by chronic venous insufficiency. They typically appear near the ankles and may be accompanied by swelling, aching, or skin discoloration.

Arterial ulcers, on the other hand, are caused by reduced blood flow from narrowed or blocked arteries. These ulcers are typically deeper, more painful, and located on the toes, feet, or heels. Without proper care, arterial ulcers can worsen rapidly.

Symptoms of Venous and Arterial Ulcers

  • Venous ulcers: shallow wounds, leg swelling, skin darkening, aching or heavy legs
  • Arterial ulcers: deep wounds, shiny or cool skin, severe pain, slow or absent pulse in feet

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent worsening wounds and avoid serious outcomes.
