Convenient At-Home Wound Care for Leg Ulcers
A leg ulcer is a break in the skin that creates a lasting wound. The issue is typically caused by poor circulation, diabetes, obesity and other chronic health conditions. Unlike minor wounds, leg ulcers take longer than two weeks to heal and often cause pain, discomfort and swelling.
At Preferred Healthcare, we provide mobile ulcer treatment to patients at home and in healthcare facilities like clinics, hospitals and assisted living centers. This convenient, comfortable approach to ulcer management helps speed up the healing process to reduce the overall treatment time and prevent complications.

Common Questions About Leg Ulcers
What are the signs of a leg ulcer?
Common signs of a leg ulcer include an open sore on the leg or ankle, swelling, an aching sensation and changes in skin color around the wound. The skin surrounding the ulcer may appear discolored or hardened.
How long does a leg ulcer take to heal?
The time required for a leg ulcer to fully heal will vary depending on its size, severity and a patient’s underlying health issues. Leg ulcers often take 3–4 months to heal, but this time can be shortened with timely, efficient treatment.
How do I know if my leg ulcer is infected?
You can often tell your leg ulcer is infected when it becomes more painful, and when there are signs of redness and swelling at the wound location. More severe infections can include pus leaking from the wound, an unpleasant smell and fever.
