Varicose Ulcer Causes

Understanding varicose ulcer causes is important for preventing one of the more serious complications of chronic venous insufficiency. A varicose or venous ulcer develops when damaged vein valves allow blood to pool in the lower legs, increasing pressure within the veins. Over time, poor circulation can damage the skin and lead to slow-healing open sores, usually around the ankles.
