Lymphatic Ulcers
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Lymphatic ulcers are skin lesions that form when the lymphatic system does not drain properly and fluids accumulate in the tissues, usually in the legs. They tend to appear over areas of chronic swelling.
Common features: thickened skin, persistent edema, drainage, and wounds that are slow to close.
Factors that favor them: prolonged lymphatic retention, repeated infections, and immobility can contribute to their appearance.
Which specialist evaluates them? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon handle disorders of circulation and drainage, and the general practitioner can guide the initial approach. When a wound on the leg does not close and is accompanied by swelling, it is advisable to seek the opinion of one of these professionals.
