Thanks for your question,
first of all you should know the cause ,It may be due to prolonged use of anticoagulant with prolonged recumbency on bed .Use topical medications containing recombinant hirudin(as thrombex gel ),You can also use anti inflammatory drugs and prophylactic antibiotic for 2 weeks.
