Venous Ulcer

When veins become insufficient however they dilate and prevent the valves from closing properly. This, in turn, causes reflux which is when the blood leaks downwards and stagnates in the vein. If left untreated this can result in the appearance of venous disease. Meanwhile visible varicose veins can also be developed. Untreated varicose veins can cause inflammation of the Venus valves and surrounding tissue followed by the appearance of edema. furthermore, blood cells can leak out of the vein into the surrounding tissue which results in hyperpigmentation of the skin. The most severe form of untreated varicose veins is an ulcer.
