Hi welcome to HealthCareMagic



the above symptoms suggestive of Varicose ulcer, the primary cause varicose veins need to be treated, only then the ulcer will heal.... surgery is the treatment for the varicose veins.. you need to be careful , not to get injured in toes or feet, even small injury will result in non healing ulcer..... continue to wear the stocking Hope I have answered your question..

hi
u have venous ulcer .
it will take long time to cure it as there is secondary infection .
u need to go for culture and sensitivity test
first infection must be control and then vericose vein
if u r overweight then reduce it .
u need combine treatment from surgeon and dermatologist .
