Dermal Necrosis After Sclerotherapy?

July 11, 2012
Asked By:allie80

I had sclerotherapy done 10 months ago. I developed an area of dermal necrosis and ulceration in my anterior leg (1.5cm diameter of true necrosis with 1-2 cm of surrounding skin changes) . This area has slowly healed although the skin still remains very thin in the central area and easily sloughed off. My doctor then recommend fractionated laser to help improve the scar. This was done a month ago and the wound is still occasionally oozing. What kind of doctor and treatment should i get for this?
