Other conditions associated with leg ulcers and common in written exams - Sickle cell disease, Cryoglobulinaemia, Spherocytosis.

Type of Ulcer	Description	Clinical Features	Treatment
Venous Ulcers	Typically found above the medial malleolus, often involving the entire lower leg circumference and may be bilateral. Common in patients with varicose veins or a history of DVT.	Chronic, long-term, slow-healing ulcers. Pink granulation tissue present. Patients often managed at home with care from district nurse services.	Avoid systemic antibiotics unless there is clear infection. If ABPI >0.8, use graduated compression stockings, elevate legs, and apply regular compression dressings. Topical agents and steroid creams may be used. Early specialist intervention, focus on nutrition, and assess for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis if immobile.
Arterial Ulcers	Occurs on distal toes, pressure areas, lateral malleolus, dorsum of foot, and heads of metatarsals. Typically have a punched-out appearance, cold, and tender.	An ABPI of >0.8 indicates good vascular supply, though there may be vascular issues, particularly in diabetics and smokers. Commonly associated with atherosclerosis and Buerger's disease.	Referral to vascular surgery for assessment. In some cases, vascular bypass or angioplasty may be beneficial. Amputation may be necessary in severe cases.
Vasculitis Ulcers	Often found over the tibial tuberosity and can be mistaken for venous ulcers. Typically associated with underlying vasculitic conditions.	Look for associated systemic diseases.	Treat the underlying vasculitis; refer to a specialist for further management.
Traumatic Ulcers	Typically caused by injury, often in diabetic patients or those with neuropathy, who may not recall the trauma.	Occurs at sites of trauma; may be associated with poor footwear or standing on objects.	Treat underlying cause; ensure appropriate footwear and care to avoid further trauma.
Neuropathic Ulcers	Commonly found on the heel and plantar surface of the foot, especially in areas with impaired sensation.	Often seen in diabetics and those with peripheral neuropathy or alcoholism. Ulcers develop in areas subjected to trauma due to sensory loss.	Regular foot care and monitoring. Debridement and pressure relief are essential. Manage underlying neuropathy.
Malignant Ulcers	Non-healing ulcers that may be indicative of underlying malignancy, such as squamous cell carcinoma (Marjolin's ulcer).	Ulcers that do not heal; may develop from existing venous ulcers.	Biopsy to confirm malignancy. Wide local excision is usually required.
Pyoderma Gangrenosum	A rare condition that can cause severe ulceration with red violaceous borders, often worsened by surgical intervention.	Associated with inflammatory bowel disease or other systemic conditions.	Avoid surgical debridement. Immunosuppressive therapy is often required. Close management by a specialist.
