ABSTRACT
In addition to venous and lymphatic diseases, there is increasing scientific evidence that inflammatory dermatoses of the legs are also indications for compression therapy. Specifically, diseases such as pyoderma gangrenosum, livedoid vasculopathy, cutaneous vasculitides, necrobiosis lipoidica, psoriasis, or erysipelas are conditions for which adjunctive compression therapy may be used when manifestations occur on the lower extremities. When inflammatory dermatoses are accompanied by edema, compression therapy is not an off-label use. Especially because of the often problematic pain symptoms, compression therapy can be performed with low resting pressures around 20âmmHg, especially in inflammatory dermatoses.In this review article, the current scientific aspects of compression therapy in inflammatory dermatoses of the legs and the corresponding limitations are presented in a differentiated manner.
