Hi,
In case of Venous ulcers, compression therapy is proven to be beneficial. Antihistamines won't help in this case. You can try Pentoxyfylline with your family physician advice. Leg elevation and regular dressing will speed up healing. In resistible cases, we usually try surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
