my 8year old grandson fractured his tibia 10 weeks ago-his leg was put in plaster and when plaster removed last week a nasty black ulcer was discovered on the calf of his leg-advised this will take up to 6 months to heal. Why such a long time for a young boy to heal
The time of ulcer to heal is different between people. It depends on many factors like age, general status of patient, presence of chronic diseases, diabetes mellitus, size and type of ulcer. You should follow the instructions well and the ulcer will heal before this.
