Southampton, PA -- (SBWire) -- 11/08/2016 --Dr. Aaron Shiloh, the leading varicose vein services and hair restoration provider in Greater Philadelphia, and head of the Shiloh Vein & Aesthetics Institute (SVAI) just released an article on his practice's website answering common questions about venous skin ulcers. According to Dr. Shiloh, the condition is completely treatable provided patients see an experienced doctor and follow strict eliminatory regimens.

"Venous skin ulcers can be scary, but if the right steps are taken, they can be eliminated and prevented from happening again," said Shiloh.

His article explains that venous ulcers happen when the body's circulatory system malfunctions, and blood does not circulate properly. Venous ulcers tend to occur most frequently in the legs, just above the ankles. Ulcers as such are notoriously slow-healing.

"While people of all ages can get venous ulcers, those over 65 should be especially cautious. Furthermore, people who smoke heavily, are obese, are generally inactive or lack exercise, have blood clots or stand for long periods of time are at a higher risk for poor circulation leading to venous ulcers," said Shiloh.

Shioh's article takes note that people experiencing purple skin in places, added thickness of the skin, dryness or itchiness may be at risk for venous ulcers. According to Shiloh, while the condition is treatable, the assistance of an experienced physician is necessary.
