Vascular Ulcers treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Vascular ulcers are wounds that appear on the skin, almost always on the legs or feet, due to problems with blood circulation. They can be slow to heal and tend to recur if the underlying cause is not addressed.

Common symptoms: They are usually accompanied by pain, changes in skin color, swelling, and wounds that will not fully close.

Common causes: They are related to alterations in the veins or arteries that hinder blood flow and the supply of oxygen to the tissues.

Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the right professionals to evaluate circulation, and the general practitioner can guide the first visit. If you have a wound that will not close or persistent discomfort in your legs, it is worth having it evaluated by a specialist.
