Leg Ulcers
Leg ulcers are a significant problem for millions of people, causing pain and suffering and diminishing quality of life. Leg ulcers are caused by many conditions including problems with the blood vessels, inflammation of blood vessels, diabetes, underlying medical diseases, infections and medications.
Diagnosis of the cause of leg ulcers is key to treatment. The Department of Dermatology specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of difficult-to-treat leg ulcers and works closely with other specialties to ensure the best patient outcome.
