Venous Eczema

Venous eczema, also known as stasis dermatitis, is a skin condition often associated with chronic venous insufficiency. It primarily affects individuals in the local area dealing with vein-related issues. At Vein911® Vein Treatment Centers, we understand the challenges this condition poses and are here to guide you through understanding, managing, and treating venous eczema effectively.

Understanding Venous Eczema

Venous eczema occurs when the veins in the lower legs are unable to efficiently return blood to the heart, causing fluid to pool and increase pressure in the veins. This leads to inflammation and changes in the skin, resulting in eczema. It’s crucial to recognize the symptoms early to prevent complications such as ulcers or infections.

Common Symptoms of Venous Eczema

Red, itchy skin often accompanied by swelling
Brownish or reddish discoloration of the skin
Thickened, leathery texture of the skin
Open sores or ulcers in severe cases

Causes and Risk Factors

Age: More common in individuals over 50 years old
History of vein problems: Such as varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis
Obesity: Extra weight can increase pressure on veins
Inactivity: Prolonged periods of sitting or standing

  1. Compression Therapy: Using compression stockings to improve blood flow.
  2. Medication: Prescribing topical steroids to reduce inflammation and itching.
  3. Skincare Regimen: Advising on suitable emollients to keep the skin hydrated.
  4. Vein Treatment: Addressing underlying venous insufficiencies through minimally invasive procedures.
