$25 billion is spent annually in the United States treating chronic skin wounds related mostly to poor blood circulation?

The research review team, led by investigators at the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Center and the Johns Hopkins Wound Healing Center, noted than an estimated $25 billion is spent annually in the United States treating chronic skin wounds related mostly to poor blood circulation, disorders known as venous ulcers. Their prevalence is rising along with rates of diabetes and obesity, and the review was undertaken in an effort to inform physicians about the treatment options.
Probably we should take them ( tiny and giant ulcerations)  more seriously and every effort should be made to prevent them and heal them early. - Pinjala R K
