What Is Venous Ulcers?

Treatment for open leg sores caused by chronic venous insufficiency, addressing both the wound and the underlying vein disease.

Venous ulcerations are open sores on the legs caused by chronic venous insufficiency, when blood pools in the veins instead of flowing back toward the heart. Dr. J. Keith Thompson treats venous ulcers by addressing both the wound and the underlying vein disease driving it, often using the same vein ablation or sclerotherapy techniques used for varicose veins.

Who This Helps

Biloxi patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venous ulcers:

  • Open sores or wounds on the lower leg, often near the ankle
  • Skin discoloration or thickening around the wound
  • Leg swelling, aching, or heaviness
  • Wounds that are slow to heal

How It Works & Recovery

We keep the first visit simple — check-in, then a conversation with your provider about your leg veins and any symptoms you're noticing. An ultrasound is frequently performed the same day, since it helps confirm whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.

Because venous ulcers are slow to heal and can worsen without treatment, addressing the underlying vein disease is an important part of supporting faster healing and reducing the chance the ulcer returns.
