Suggest Treatment For Leg Ulcer On The Ankle
I have a leg ulcer I have had for 17 and a half years it has never healed. It started out as a brown reluise spider bite. It get down to the size of my smallest fingernail and then opens back up again. If you take each pointer finger from each hand and put it together that is the size of my ulcer above me right ankle.I have 2 teeth broken off in my month and the rest of my 11 teeth need pulled. Everyone tells to get my teeth pulled and my leg ulcer will heal is this true or a myth?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the non healing ulcer since long being then underlying cause of this is matter of concern second it is very unusual because any wound can not stay there for years, and it is the myth that pulling of teeth will heal the wound, over all it is the questionable and without clinical examination nothing can be said anything for sure hope this information concern.
