Varicose eczema, also known as venous eczema or stasis dermatitis, is a skin condition that affects the lower legs and is associated with chronic venous insufficiency. It is characterized by inflammation, redness, itching, and scaling of the skin, often accompanied by swelling and discoloration in the affected areas. The condition occurs when blood pools in the veins of the legs due to poor circulation, leading to increased pressure in the veins (venous hypertension). This pressure causes the blood vessels to leak fluid into the surrounding tissues, resulting in inflammation and eczema. Contributing factors include varicose veins, which are swollen and twisted veins that can impair blood flow, and chronic venous insufficiency, where the veins are unable to effectively return blood to the heart. Other risk factors include obesity, prolonged standing, and a history of leg injuries or deep vein thrombosis. Treatment for varicose eczema focuses on managing symptoms and improving venous circulation. This often involves using topical treatments such as corticosteroids or emollients to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. Compression therapy, through the use of compression stockings or bandages, helps improve blood flow and reduce swelling. Elevating the legs can also assist in reducing venous pressure and fluid buildup. Addressing underlying venous issues with medical or surgical interventions, such as vein stripping or sclerotherapy, may be necessary to improve circulation and prevent recurrence. Maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and avoiding prolonged periods of standing can further aid in managing the condition. Consulting a healthcare provider for a comprehensive treatment plan is essential for effective management of varicose eczema.
