A venous ulcer or venous leg ulcer is a slow-healing sore on the leg that results from poor circulation. Somewhat more than 1% of Americans wind up getting a venous ulcer. Common causes include aging, smoking, obesity, diabetes, leg injuries and varicose veins.
Venous ulcers are slow to heal since the nutrients and oxygen needed for the healing process are impeded by poor circulation.
