🦵 Lower Leg Ulcers – Why the Right Dressing Matters 🩹
Lower leg ulcers can be stubborn and slow to heal — but with the right wound care, healing is possible.
One of the most important factors in healing is choosing the correct dressing for your wound type.
✅ The right dressing helps:
Control infection
Manage exudate (wound fluid)
Protect the delicate skin around the ulcer
Promote faster, healthier healing and pain control
🚫 The wrong dressing can:
Slow healing
Cause unnecessary pain
Damage surrounding skin
Increase infection risk
