Stasis Purpura on the Leg

Stasis purpura on the leg. Stasis purpura is not rare in association with varicosis that causes oedema. Eczema also occurs as an additional symptom. In this case, the condition healed after venous surgery. Mere symptomatic treatment is not acceptable without investigating the status of the venous system. Irrespective of what therapies are used, such a patient most likely needs an individually fitted compression stocking.
