HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such lesion needs to be taken great care particularly for infection, if this is the infection then I would suggest to take Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid twice in day for 10 days, try to keep the leg in elevated position, with the history of deep vein thrombosis it hast to be treated well crab bandage is compulsory for the healing of wound all the necessary treatment has to be given, otherwise it wont heal, then chances of facing some complication is likely hope this information helps.
