These patients are at high risk of recurrence.
Seriously ill patients with extensive ulcers: for patients who have other serious medical problems, the prognosis is poor, as they may be unable to tolerate or accept the intensive treatment required to close their wound surgically.
Infirm patients with superficial damage: prognosis is reasonable as long as appropriate local wound care is provided.
