In some cases, individuals with hemolytic anemia may develop leg ulcers. These are open sores that occur on the lower legs, usually near the ankles, and can be quite painful. They develop as a result of poor blood circulation and reduced oxygen delivery to the tissues, leading to skin damage and the formation of ulcers.
Leg ulcers can take a long time to heal and may become infected if not properly cared for, which can lead to further complications. If you develop leg ulcers, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate wound care and treatment to manage the underlying cause of the ulcers, such as hemolytic anemia. (4)
