Asked By:Sandee74 in Huntington Beach, CA

If you have chronic ulcers on your feet and one on your inner and outer thigh also hard lumpy saddle bags on thighs / over weight at 280 pounds - lupus/ and no spleen / will lupus suction of the abdomen/ thighs and buttocks stop you from getting more ulcers and these to go away? They started 3yrz ago and then it was one on top of each foot and then an absess on the ankle turned into one after antibiotics - a few months ago the 2 on the thigh appeared.
