Abstract

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is characterized by various symptoms and manifestations, including skin manifestations, among which venous eczema is the most common – about 44% of patients. The itching associated with eczema leads to scratching, which in turn increases the chances of secondary infections. In addition, venous ulceration of the lower extremities often develops in CVI, which can also be complicated by secondary infection, making the choice of therapy difficult. The treatment of venous eczema uses combined glucocorticosteroids, which relieve pruritus and infectious complications, as well as care products with a pronounced moisturizing effect. In the presence of ulcerative defects it is necessary to use means for cleansing of the wound surface and acceleration of epithelization processes.
