Has brown pigmentation around it.

Venous leg ulcers. also called stasis ulcers. tend to be more superficial than arterial ulcers. and the ulcer bed is pink. The edges of the ulcer are uneven. and granulation tissue is evident. The skin has a brown pigmentation from the accumulation of metabolic waste products resulting from venous stasis. The client also exhibits peripheral edema.Options A. B. and C is due to tissue malnutrition; and thus us an arterial problem)
