Common Symptoms of Arterial Ulcers:
The lower legs and feet of patients with arterial ulcers have a swollen look, with discoloration, indicating poor circulation (ischemia) and atrophy, with hair loss and toenail discoloration. Often these limbs are cold to the touch, and lack a discernible pulse. The site of the ulcer itself is typically swollen, with no bleeding, even though the wounds are often deep, even to the muscle or bone. Arterial ulcers can be yellow, brown, or even grey or black.
What Causes Arterial Ulcers?
Arterial ulcers are caused by poor circulation. In a healthy leg, even a significant wound will heal over time with proper dressing and attention, as the body can send healthy, oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the area. If the arteries or capillaries are compromised, the tissue they service will stagnate, making it vulnerable to any kind of damage. In the case of a wound – even a small puncture – the damage will grow and spread without healing.
