This is a picture I took of a portion of my lower KTS leg. These legions are certainly treatable through simple procedures. I usually have mine tended to every couple of years of so but I am approaching the three year mark I believe. When they grow back, they can actually cause some tenderness; any material rubbed up against them can provide discomfort (especially the support stocking). They are also prone to bleeding, which can provide a source for infection so it is of the utmost importance to care for the area as gently as possible while maintaining impeccable hygiene.
