When the veins in your legs don't circulate blood properly, pressure builds. Over time, that pressure can damage the skin and lead to venous leg ulcers—painful, slow-healing wounds that keep coming back.
Common signs it may be vein-related:
Ulcers around the ankle
Leg swelling or heaviness
Darkening or hardening of the skin
Varicose veins nearby
A wound that won't heal despite good care
