What Is the Treatment?
Treatment of this condition is aimed at both alieving current symptoms and addressing the underlying cause. At ReJUVA Dermatology and Vein Center we take pride in being the most comprehensive dermatology and vein center in Sarasota County. Dr. Rasouli is a double board-certified expert in vein therapy who is dedicated to improving the lives of her patients by addressing venous disorders such as venous insufficiency, varicose veins, and Venous Stasis Dermatitis.
Our comprehensive vein screening will identify if your cause of Stasis Dermatitis is due to significant venous insufficiency, in which case we offer multiple treatment modalities including laser and RF endovenous ablation, microphlebectomy and sclerotherapy among others.
Topical steroids may be prescribed to help improve the rash and itchiness and reduce skin inflammation. Supportive measures include wearing medical-grade compression stockings, elevating the feet while sitting, and engaging in regular physical activity. Wound care should be applied to any ulcers or sores present. Oral antibiotics may be warranted if a secondary skin infection results. Frequent moisturization of the legs will help repair and maintain a healthy skin barrier.
