Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you stated that due to standing for long time your husband developed blisters or ulcers .
As due to stasis in venous blood there develops such type of blisters.
As for treatment , you may try as,
1 Bisgaard method .Almost any venous ulcer can be healed by ,
elevation,
bandaging,
exercises ,
massage.
Consult a physiotherapist and physiotherapy department can be the most helpful in applying the Bisgaard treatment which consists of many things.
2 Bandage & elevation particularly in the night when off from his duty.
3 Subfascial ligation. For this consult a surgeon and get his opinion and treatment , try this method if above mentioned 1 & 2 treatment not effective.
Good luck. Dr. HET
