what is a good cure for leg ulcers?

antibiotic cream and lotion should help - neosporan- keep the leg clean and dry- and if all else fails, have it amputated and get a wooden one.

Growing up I used to get ulcers (cankers) maybe once or twice a month and I usually just put up with them. I tried tons of different medicines and nothing really worked consistently.\n\nHOWEVER, in college, my roomate had ulcers tons worse than I did and he used an ointment called "Orabase" and that soothed the pain for a while. It numbs the spot for a couple hours and works really well if you put it on before you eat. \n\nTHEN I moved to China about 7 months ago and the food here is usually extremely spicy or very sweet....so my ulcers went from twice a month to twice a week. I talked to an American doctor living here and he told me to try a herbal vitamin called "L-lysine"...and my gosh...after taking one of those pills once a day for a while...I haven't had a serious one in about 5 months. That was the miracle stuff. I took one every day for a few weeks, now I only take them when I start to feel one develop and it goes away quick...if it even gets started.\n\nYou could go to a pharmacist or a herbal vitamin store and ask for it. I'm usually really skeptical of herbal stuff, but this stuff really worked!\nGive it a try. For me, it was really that simple. It may be different for different people, but out of all the mess and mouthwashes I've used over the years, nothing cleaned them up like this. It'll definitely take care of one on your tongue. ...but in my experience, the ones on the tongue usually last a little longer than the ones on the inside of your mouth.\n\nGood luck!

My grandma gets those and they're hereditary so, I've researched how to prevent them.  Exercising and keeping your legs elevated are the best ways.  However, once you get them, things like Vein Away Plus barely reduce the appearnce of them.  Surgery is the only way to get rid of them in a noticeable way.

Most of the time ulcers are caused by the pooling of blood in the lower legs..It's a vein problem... Veins are responsible for carrying blood to the heart.They have valves that keep the blood going in one direction, sometimes these valves break down and blood runs both ways..That causes pooling..Pooling causes ulcers.. The medical term for it is Venous Stasis Disease..Take her to a vascular surgeon they have a closer procedure..They close off the greater and lesser saph veins.. Most of the time it heals the ulcers...Diabetics are also very prone to ulcers..This procedure can help with diabetics it often times will save the leg from amputation..

Natural Ways to Ways to Cure and Prevent Leg Cramps - More Than Home Remedies\nIf you get a leg cramp (or charley horse), the quickest way to get rid of it is to walk on the leg. If the person can't get up and walk on the leg, either heat or ice along with massage will help.\n\nDrinking two ounces of natural apple cider vinegar has been reported to relieve involuntary muscle contractions or cramping in 35 seconds.\n\nBut, if you get leg cramps often, the best thing is to prevent them from happening in the first place.\n\nTaking calcium  and magnesium supplements (or calcium magnesium combination) and eating a banana daily prevent most leg cramps. If this alone does not do the trick, these will help increase circulation: Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. And, zinc helps your body absorb the calcium and regulate the B vitamins.\n\nLeg cramps caused by insufficient fluid intake are prevented by drinking about eight glasses of water each day.\n\nLeg cramps that occur during or after vigorous exercise can be prevented by eating a few bites of something salty and drinking at least half a glass of water before, during and after exerting yourself.

I suggest walking, drinking alot of fluids, and massaging the legs it helps the most, it gets the circulation going. My father has the same problem, massaging the area helps him the most. Hope you feel better soon!

aputate your leg.\n\nor you could try icing it, but if that doesn't work, get a MRI and make sure there's no scar tissue built up in that area.

Its really awful, people who dont have it, have no idea! The best help I have found, is 1 taking a hot shower or bath, right befor bed. While in the shower or bath, do some leg bends, briskley rub your legs, as hard as u can massage in the back calf area, rub the vein area behind both knees, when done rub your legs down with a peppermint lotion or creme, the peppermint feels very soothing, also the rubbing and massage u did will promote much better circulation. Also if u dont mind the taste u can add ice and lemon to help, tonic water is very good, has quinine in it, I had been given quinine pills by my dr. but even she suggested I use them as least as possible, they are not all that good for people, have been responsible for even some deaths, I will no longer ever use them, but the above has all been a big help for me, I can lay down without feeling I must move my legs all night! I hope this is help for u also, and happy holidays too!!!

Change your diet to inclued more vegetable and fruits. Cut out as much meat such as beef and pork as possible. Do leg exercises and walk at least two miles a day. In the evening before bed put aloe vera gel from the plant directly on the stretch marks and let dry. Do this every day until the stretch marks are gone. Aloe Vera in it's purest form, directly from the leaf is used on burn patients to keep the scarring to a minimum and to help heal the damaged skin.

in the health food store they have a wide variety of nutritional drinks and some are very good for the stomach if you have an ulcer.papaya juice is very good. i would  talk to the clerk there because they specialize in healthy food and drinks.

I get ulcers in my mouth. My doctor told me it's allergies. They gave me a great cure. I'v never had my ulcers feel better or go away quicker. It's stuff you can get over the counter. You mix Benidryl and Kaopectate and swish it around in your mouth then spit it out. :^)

Hey, I'm not a doctor... yet several years ago it was discovered that ulcers were generally caused by bacteria...(heliobacter Pylori). With antibotics it would clear up, and dietary supplementation with the mineral bismuth (like that found in Pepto Bismol) would allow the stomach to completely heal.
