Treatment options typically include pressure therapy on the affected leg in order to reduce the leg's underlying high blood pressure and fluid build-up and moist dressings for leg sores to promote healing. An overview of the development, identification, and treatment options of chronic venous insufficiency and accompanying leg sores is presented.
