Trophic ulcer is a result of untreated leg vein problems. It is an unhealing wound that requires serious treatment.
If superficial vein problems are not treated, which is the most frequent cause, then the lower shin swells and venose blood flow is damaged, which is when all the cosmetic defects apperat – pigmentation, the skin is hard and painful. If the disease progresses, deep veins can also be influenced.
People who have regular swelling due to enlarged veins should be especially cautious. Often these people have itchy skin on the shin, also discoloroation in the ankle region.
People who have chronical changes in skin conditions, also people who have had deep vein thrombosis, should be especially cautious, because the tinies wound, even a mosquito bite, can turn into an infection or even badly healing skin defect, which is thropic ulcer.
