I have a wound the size of a penny 6 weeks after micro sclerotherapy, very painful and sore in the surrounding area. (photo)

Question

Will this ever heal? I have an appointment to go and see the vascular surgeon on Tuesday who performed the treatment what will I ask her to do ? I have spent over 5 thousand pounds with the private clinic of Harley street in London and am devastated at this outcome. I reall need some help with this . Kind regards Marianne

I would begin treatment with Plato's Scar Serum once the skin heals over. Vbeam laser may also help in the future. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

This is a possible risk after sclerotherapy and will heal with a scar.  Please get the appropriate wound care at this time.  Best, Dr. Emer.

John Landi, MD · Answer

This is  postsclerotherapy skin necrosis and will result in an ulceration.  I would recommend debridemont of the unhealthy tissue followed by local wound care.

Mark Taylor, MD · Answer

There is a small and risk of blisters or ulcers following sclerotherapy that cannot be totally predicted or avoided.  Most of these ulcers will heal well, but may leave a small scar.

Thank you for your question and for showing the pic.It should heal nicely if you don't develop a superimposed infection. Place neosporin and be vigilant about redness around the wound or red streaks (cellulitis) ... I recommend that you place Plato's Scar Serum from Kare Skin on the wound to improve healing.look at the link below for guidance.
