Skin Ulcers
Skin Ulcers- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
Supplement Amount Why AloeApply gel on gauze or dressings daily 
[2 stars] Aloe has been used historically to improve wound healing and studies have shown it to be effective in healing skin ulcers.Diosmin and Hesperidin900 mg per day of diosmin and 100 mg per day of hesperidin [2 stars] One trial found that a combination of the flavonoids diosmin and hesperidin promoted healing of venous leg ulcers. Hydroxyethylrutosides (related flavonoids) may also help.Essential Fatty Acids TopicalRefer to label instructions [2 stars] In one study, topically applied essential fatty acids significantly lessened pressure ulcers and improved skin hydration and elasticity in malnourished people, who frequently develop ulcers.Evening Primrose Oil1,500 mg with each meal [2 stars] A preliminary report suggested that evening primrose oil improves blood flow to the legs and heals or reduces the size of venous leg ulcers.Folic AcidConsult a qualified healthcare practitioner [2 stars] Large amounts of folic acid given both orally and by injection could promote healing of chronic skin ulcers due to poor circulation.Gotu KolaApply an ointment or powder containing 1 to 2% herbal extract daily [2 stars] Gotu kola extracts may be used topically to help speed wound healing.Hyaluronic AcidApply a gel containing a partial benzyl ester derivative of hyaluronan under compression bandaging daily [2 stars] A trial found that topical application of a hyaluronic acid compound with compression bandaging was significantly better than bandaging alone for healing chronic venous skin ulcers.Pycnogenol150 mg per day orally, along with topical application of 100 mg daily [2 stars] In a controlled study, symptoms of diabetic skin ulcers improved in those treated with standard medications plus oral and topical Pycnogenol.
Vitamin C1,000 mg daily [2 stars] Supplementing with vitamin C may help prevent skin ulcers and speed healing.Vitamin E Oral400 IU daily [2 stars] Antioxidants, such as vitamin E, are depleted in healing skin tissue.

Skin ulcers are open sores that are often accompanied by the sloughing-off of inflamed tissue.
Skin ulcers can be caused by a variety of events, such as trauma, exposure to heat or cold, problems with blood circulation, or irritation from exposure to corrosive material. Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, are skin ulcers that develop on areas of the body where the blood supply has been reduced because of prolonged pressure; these may occur in people confined to bed or a chair, or in those who must wear a hard brace or plaster cast. Skin ulcers may become infected, with serious health consequences. Other health conditions that can cause skin ulcers include mouth ulcers (canker sores), chronic venous insufficiency, diabetes, infection, and peripheral vascular disease.
