By: Jess Turley 4 th hour

 A leg ulcer is a wound or open sore, that will not heal unless you take the correction actions for treatment.

 SYMPTOMS: › Ulcers may or may not be painful › You may have a swollen leg that burns and itches › A rash or redness will appear › Your skill will become dry and scaly › There is also a brown discoloration of the skin

 Poor circulation  Blood clots  Diabetes  Kidney Failure  Hypertension  Lymphedema (buildup of fluid causing swelling)  High Cholesterol  Pressure caused by lying in one position for too long  Genetics  Infections  History of Smoking  Heart Disease  High Blood Pressure

 Antibiotics  Anti-Platelet or Anti-Clotting medications  Wound Care Therapies  Compression Garments  Prosthetics or Orthotics

 Well, if you leave a Leg Ulcer untreated it can result in amputation. The skin eats away at itself so if it eats enough there may not be enough to heal.

 Here we go!!! 1. If you quit smoking, manage your blood pressure, and limit your sodium intake you can lower your risks of getting a Leg Ulcer! 2. Staying active will keep your blood circulating properly which will also reduce your risks. 3. There are 3 types of Leg Ulcers: 1.Venous: below the knee, inner part of the leg 2.Neuotrophic (diabetic): increased pressure points on bottom of feet. 3.Arterial (ischemic): often on heels, tips of toes, between toes, on bones that protrude and rub on shoes.
