Chronic ulcers or non-healing ulcers are defined as spontaneous or traumatic lesions, typically in lower extremities that are unresponsive to initial therapy or that persist despite appropriate care and do not proceed towards healing in a defined time period with an underlying etiology that may be related to systemic.

Conventional treatments for treating non healing ulcers usually involve getting rid of the diseased tissue by keeping the wound clean with regular dressings. But this does not accelerate healing time and is also troublesome. Antibiotics may also be required to treat the infected ulcers.

But, unless the underlying cause of the ulcer is addressed, there’s a high risk of an ulcer recurring after treatment. Homeopathy treats the underlying cause with its medicines and can be a great supportive therapy in such conditions by focusing on the symptoms of itching, burning, and pain in the ulcer along with strengthening the body’s immunity and self-healing capacity.
