Pictures on a different page

I didn't want to have the pictures on the article's page because some might find them disturbing and not want to see them. So I created a new page and put them there. If anyone knows a better way to do this, please let me know on my talk page. Delldot 02:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Needs layman's language.

Much of the language in the first parts of this article is meaningless to an average person and inappropriate for a non-medical encyclopedia: " the medial distal leg" "Edema and fibrinous exudate leads to fibrosis of subcutaneous tissues with localized pigment loss and dilation of capillary loops."

There is much excellent information here if the reader persists through the full article. Zipzip50 (talk) 16:26, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
