Chronic Venous Ulcer
This patient has a chronic venous ulcer, as shown in the gaiter area, and the
surrounding hyperpigmentation due to hemosiderin deposit. The ulcer is healing
well, as it is shallow and has healthy granulation tissues at the ulcer base. Atrophie
blanche is also present (the pink part) here, which is a particular type of angular
scar. It occurs after a skin injury, where the healing was delayed.
