Mobile Care for Infected Wounds

Comprehensive Care for Infected Wounds

Venous stasis ulcers can be a significant source of frustration and pain. We understand the emotional toll that chronic wounds can take on individuals. The discomfort and limitations caused by these ulcers can disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Cornerstone Wound Care Associates, our team of mobile wound care specialists is committed to helping you heal and regain control of your life. We want to see you feel better, both physically and emotionally.

What are Venous Stasis Ulcers?

Venous stasis ulcers occur when weakened or damaged veins have difficulty returning blood from the legs to the heart. This blood pooling causes increased pressure within the veins, leading to damage to the skin and underlying tissues. These ulcers commonly develop on the lower leg, particularly around the ankle.

Symptoms of Venous Stasis Ulcers

While symptoms can vary, common signs of venous stasis ulcers include:

  • Open wound on the leg, usually on the ankle or calf
  • Pain, throbbing, or burning sensation
  • Swollen legs
  • Changes in skin color, such as darkening or redness
  • Fluid buildup (edema)
  • Itchy skin around the wound
