You can use MgSO4 dressing other than ulcer part of leg which has edema.
Need further evaluation of ulcer and cellulitis e.g. Swab culture and sensitivity and antibiotic accordingly, Lower limb doppler sos
So contact surgeon for further detailed treatment.

Consult Dr Abdulaziz khatri for further advice.

Clinical examination & picture of the wound & swelling is required before any advice.
Kindly visit a General Surgeon for better evaluation and management.

For edema in leg, mgso4 dressing can be done but as ulcers are there, better connect with a call for details discussion regarding the disease & management
