Venous Ulcer Treatment for Lucedale, MS Patients
If you live in Lucedale, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers venous ulcer treatment close to home. Our nearest office to Lucedale is in D’Iberville, where Dr. J. Keith Thompson and our clinical team diagnose and treat vein conditions using modern, minimally invasive methods.
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
Lucedale 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
At your consultation, you'll meet with your provider to talk through your symptoms and history. If an ultrasound is needed to map the affected veins, our Certified Vascular Sonographer can often perform it during the same visit, and you'll be given a treatment plan based on the results.
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.
