Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Application to leg, possibly can cause vasodilatation in the legs, leading onto pooling of blood and hypotension.
2. Wait for your doctor to return before starting. If started, and if you have dizziness, need to avoid it.
3. Helps in ulcer healing faster, can continue, if no side effects.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
