Sometimes people with vein insufficiency suffer from an ulcer at the skin near the ankle. This ulcer is painful and secrets body fluids and gets often infected. Treatment of these ulcers is difficult and long. Usually the patient has to take antibiotics, wear elastic shocks, apply special creams or sponges on the ulcer and if the underlying problem can be solved with surgery sometimes they need to be operated.
