[Non-allergenic treatment of varicose ulcers].
The fundamental element in the treatment of a varicose ulcer is the elimination of venous stasis. However, a local treatment is called for in the acute stage of the ulcer. This leads to the healing over of the ulcer or, at least, to its transformation into a granular and clean wound which can then be given radical treatment--either the surgery or the sclerotherapy of the varices. In most cases the treatment is ambulatory and consists of the application of a dry gauze compress covered with a foam rubber pad and an adhesive elastocompressive bandage. In certain cases the ulcerous crust is removed with chloramine. Less often, in the case of an old ulcer, with allergised and inflamed periulcerous tissues, the patient is hospitalized for a period of about 2 to 8 days before undergoing the ambulatory elastocompressive treatment. The simple treatments ensure the rapid healing of the ulcer, as long as it is really of venous origin.
