    long-lasting leg sores that don't heal within six weeks

    Chronic leg ulcers are long-lasting sores or wounds on the legs that fail to heal within a typical timeframe, usually defined as six weeks or more. They are often caused by underlying conditions such as poor blood circulation, diabetes, or venous insufficiency, and can lead to significant pain, infection, and reduced quality of life if not properly managed.
