Leg Ulcer

Elevate your leg for about 20 minutes before you have your boot put on. This will help to lower swelling. Your doctor or nurse will clean and dry your leg. You may need an absorbent dressing if you have sores on your leg that drain. The dressing goes right next to your skin and a special wrap covers it. Your leg will be wrapped from the base of your toes up to your knee. This wrap provides compression and helps with blood flow.
