Skin ulcers and hemangiomas – Ulcers and benign vascular skin lesions

Skin ulcers and hemangiomas are different skin changes that have various causes and treatment approaches.

A skin ulcer is a deep defect of the skin that often heals slowly and can be caused by circulatory disorders, pressure, diabetes, inflammation, infections, or other diseases.

A hemangioma, commonly referred to as a strawberry mark, is a benign change or new growth of blood vessels. Hemangiomas can be congenital or appear particularly in infancy.

Skin ulcers

With a skin ulcer, the damage extends deeper than with a superficial skin injury. Depending on the cause, subcutaneous tissue and other structures may also be affected.

Typical symptoms and changes can include:

• open or slow-healing wounds

• weeping skin areas

• pain

• redness and swelling

• wound exudate

• crust formation

• dead tissue (necrosis)

• bleeding

• pus and unpleasant odor in case of infection

Possible causes of skin ulcers

Skin ulcers can have numerous causes, for example:

• venous circulatory disorders

• arterial circulatory disorders

• diabetes mellitus

• prolonged pressure load

• injuries

• bacterial or other infections

• inflammatory skin diseases

• autoimmune diseases

• vasculitis

• certain medications

• rarely malignant skin diseases

More common forms include venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure ulcers (decubitus).

Why do some skin ulcers heal poorly?

Delayed wound healing can be promoted by the following factors, among others:

• poor circulation

• venous congestion

• diabetes

• infections

• repeated pressure load

• limited mobility

• malnutrition

• smoking

• certain underlying diseases

• impaired immune defense

For chronic skin ulcers, therefore, not only wound care is important. The treatment of the underlying cause is also crucial.

Hemangioma – benign vascular change

A hemangioma arises from a benign proliferation or new formation of blood vessels.

Hemangiomas can:

• appear light red to dark red or bluish

• be flat or raised

• be superficial or deeper in the tissue

• vary in size

• occur singly or multiply

Infantile hemangiomas are particularly well-known, often developing in the first weeks of life. They can initially grow and then partially or completely regress over several years.

Hemangiomas in adults

In adults, various benign vascular changes can occur, which are sometimes also colloquially referred to as hemangiomas or strawberry marks. These include, for example, small red vascular nodules.

Since different vascular changes can look similar, a dermatological diagnosis should be made for new, growing, or unusual changes.

When can a hemangioma cause symptoms?

Depending on size and location, the following may occur:

• pressure or tension sensation

• repeated injuries

• bleeding

• superficial ulceration

• pain

• cosmetic impairment

• functional problems with unfavorable localization

Special attention is required for hemangiomas, for example, in the area of the eyes, respiratory tract, or other functionally important body regions.

Diagnosis

For skin ulcers, clarifying the cause is particularly important. Depending on the findings, the following may be required:

• wound examination

• vascular diagnostics

• Doppler or duplex sonography

• microbiological examination in case of suspected infection

• blood tests

• tissue sample (biopsy) if necessary

Hemangiomas can often be diagnosed based on their clinical appearance. For unclear or deeper vascular changes, ultrasound or other imaging examinations may additionally be required.

Treatment

The treatment of a skin ulcer depends on its cause and may include, for example:

• professional wound care

• suitable wound dressings

• pressure relief

• treatment of infections

• removal of dead tissue, if necessary

• treatment of venous or arterial circulatory disorders

• compression therapy for suitable venous ulcers

• optimal treatment of diabetes

Hemangiomas, on the other hand, do not necessarily require treatment. Depending on the type, size, location, and symptoms, observation, medicinal treatment, or various surgical or interventional procedures may be considered.

Homeopathy according to Dr. Banerji

In homeopathy according to Dr. Banerji, specific homeopathic remedies and potencies are used according to the Banerji protocols for various skin, wound, and vascular conditions.

Reliable healing of chronic skin ulcers or regression of hemangiomas through homeopathic remedies is not scientifically proven.

Especially with chronic wounds, possible circulatory disorders, diabetes, infections, and other underlying diseases must be medically clarified and treated. Necessary wound, vascular, or dermatological treatment should not be replaced or delayed.

Important note

A non-healing or enlarging skin ulcer should be examined by a doctor. With increasing redness, overheating, pus, unpleasant odor, severe pain, black or dead tissue, or fever, rapid medical clarification is required.

A hemangioma or vascular change that is growing rapidly, bleeding repeatedly, causing pain, or changing significantly should also be dermatologically clarified.
