VARICOSE ECZEMA Varicose
eczema or stasis dermatitis occurs in the middle to late years of
life and appears on the lower legs. It is caused by poor circulation. It
is also called stasis eczema. It affects the ankles, which become
speckled, itchy and inflamed. It is frequently treated with emollients
and steroid creams. If untreated, an ulcer may develop. A
common problem that is associated with varicose ulcers is contact
allergic eczema caused by medications applied to the skin such as
steroids, topical antibiotics, lanolin and also preservatives in various
preparations. If this is suspected, skin patch testing may help to
identify the problematic substance. For more information see stasis dermatitis.
