What Does an Ulcer Feel Like?
4. Treatment for Arterial Ulcers
The first line of treatment is intended to restore blood circulation to the limbs. The sooner this is done, the better the outcome. Antibiotics are also used to prevent infection.
If antibiotics and medical restoration of blood do not work, your doctor may recommend surgery to enhance blood supply to the lower limbs. In some cases, amputation is used if previous treatment methods fail.
