It should be noted that the treatment of trophic ulcers on the leg is a rather complicated procedure, since the affected areas heal for a very long time and are difficult to recover. The problem is complicated by the fact that over time, the ulcer may appear again in the same place.
Causes
Before considering the question of how and with what drugs to treat a trophic ulcer on the leg, we determine what is the cause of its occurrence.
The above formations appear due to lack of tissue nutrition, and in the vast majority of cases, rejection and destruction processes prevail over the regeneration process. As a result of this, an ulcer appears - the skin in a certain area loses its integrity, and part of the tissue is simply torn away. The depth and width of the ulcerative lesion in this case, as a rule, varies. Very often, a wound is formed where there is a small scratch or abrasion.
Symptoms
Signs of the aforementioned ailment are easy to recognize. The affected area of the skin, which is usually located in the epicenter of the inflammation zone, will be clearly visible on the body - it heals very hard and for a long time. If bacteria get into the newly formed abrasion, suppuration will occur.
As for the varicose trophic ulcer, it usually appears in the lower zone of the lower leg (the area of the heel or thumb).
Treatment
What medications should be used to treat trophic ulcers on the leg?
It should be emphasized that experts recommend the use of drugs both externally and internally. Treatment of a trophic ulcer on the leg implies the mandatory use of drugs that thin the blood (Aspirin), restore microcirculation (Pentoxifyline), and also reduce its coagulability (Heparin). Often, doctors prescribe the drug "Actoverin" - it promotes the flow of oxygen to the tissues, thereby improving the process of cell regeneration.
How else to eliminate trophic ulcers in the legs? Treatment should be carried out comprehensively: using the external use of drugs. It is important to carry out regular cleaning of the area of damage from pus and torn away components, since through the film no product will improve.
The wound is disinfected with a chlorhexidine solution or standard saline. It is not recommended to use alcohol-containing and reactive disinfectants, for example hydrogen peroxide, since they can negatively affect the growth of young cells, and the healing process will proceed even more slowly.
What methods can still remove trophic ulcers on the legs? Ointment "Iruksol" is specially created for this. It contains effective components in order to eliminate ulcers, namely: proteinase enzymes, kalagenaz and chloramphenicol antibiotic. It will help to quickly eliminate all trophic "wounds".
A bandage with Iruxol ointment should be applied twice a day. After the sores begin to heal, you can switch to the Actovegin ointment.
