Some villagers call any open spreading sore leprosy. This leads to confusion, because medical workers use this term only for true lwprosy (Hansen's disease). Sores commonly called leprosy are
1. Impetigo and other skin infections.
2. Sores that come from insect bites or scabies.
3. Chronic sores or skin ulcers such as those caused by poor circulation.
4. Skin cancer.
5. Less commonly, leprosy or tuberculosis of the skin.Leprosy
