Early Fall
This pic looks alot like the one from August. The actual size of the ulcer has been reduced. I've gotten a little bit of edema around the ankle and I had a flareup which has since healed, located on the side of my ankle. Flareups generally come about once every few months and follow the same routine. The area hurts like a deep pimple and then a purplish node or bulb appears, about the size of a pea. It breaks and bleeds like crazy. An actual hole will appear. After a few days it will heal up.I'm not sure why I get flareups. They just happen without warning. Even with the increase in exercise which seems to help the ulcer, it has no effect on flareups.
