What is a venous leg ulcer?

A leg ulcer is a chronic (long-lasting) sore that takes more than 4 to 6 weeks to heal. They typically appear on the inside of the thigh, just above the ankle.

A venous leg ulcer causes pain, itching, and swelling in the affected leg. There may also be discoloured or hardened skin around the ulcer, as well as a foul-smelling discharge from the sore.

The most common type of leg ulcer is a venous leg ulcer, which accounts for more than 90% of all cases.

Venous leg ulcers can form as a result of a minor injury in which the skin is damaged by persistently high pressure in the veins of the legs.
