Hope all is well. In past couple of years I developed leg ulcer on back of calf. It was there all through a spring, summer , then my family Dr decided it should be biopsied just in case.
Was really a mess after that, biopsy showed not cancer but I developed infection and had to get antibiotics. Infection cleared but still no complete healing.
Hematologist stopped Hydroxyurea for about a month. U I decided to try Aloe Vera gel on it a couple times a day and kept is cleanly covered. Eventually that did seem to heal it. Several months later, started to develop ulcer again same spot and also on back of other calf! Aloe Vera Gel again and in a month or two both cleared. Think I might be on too high a dose at 28 pills a week. .?
