Abstract:
Livedoid vasculitis is a kind of skin disease caused by local vascular occlusion.It mainly manifests as erythematous and purpuric maculas or papules on the legs and ankles,which may progress into intensely painful ulcers and heal leaving porcelain-white atrophic scars called atrophie blanche.Histopathologically,inflammatory response is weak or absent in local lesions of livedoid vasculitis,hence,it is commonly considered to be related to local thrombosis and other autoimmune diseases.Now,it is mainly managed with anticoagulation-based comprehensive treatment in clinic.
