My husband was recently diagnosed with LV and has a very painful large sore on his ankle. No docs in our area have ever seen this before. Is there any doctor at Mayo or elsewhere that have treated this disease? What type of doctor would we look for?
Thank you for any info.

Hello @timsleg and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. LV is classified as an uncommon disorder and one that has been seen and treated at Mayo Clinic, yes. I thought you may find this patient story helpful.
