Varicose ulcers are also known as venous ulcers, stasis dermatitis, or venous stasis ulcers. These are chronic wounds that occur on the lower legs and feet due to venous insufficiency, a condition where the blood flow in the veins is weakened, leading to blood pooling in the legs. Other synonyms for varicose ulcers include leg ulcers, chronic leg ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and ulcerative dermatitis. These ulcers are commonly seen among aging individuals, pregnant women, obese individuals, and those with a family history of venous insufficiency. Treatment of varicose ulcers involves compression therapy, wound care, and addressing the underlying cause of the venous insufficiency.
