Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

I can certainly understand your concern

I have worked through your attached query in detail

Venous ulcers of longer duration doesn't respond to oral or topical medications.

They have to be treated by surgical procedure only.

It's advisable to consult a plastic surgeon for this purpose
