You say you took medication for years prescribed by your GP, was this for your Vasculitis?

Hi Hamlet,
Has your GP or consultant recommended that you are seen by Tissue Viability nurses. When I had ulcers on both legs they were the ones who treated them and the associated discolouration subsequently. I am pleased to say that the scarring has vastly improved after one year. Dave
