A 78-year-old male attends the GP because they have been concerned about their leg

A 78-year-old male attends the GP because they have been concerned about their leg. There has been a progressive loss of skin and tissue in the area and now it has ulcerated to a large extent. It has been slowly progressing over a course of 8 months. He used to be a firefighter and sustained bad burns to that leg many years ago. He has come in now because it has become a lot more purulent and started to bleed.
