    Stasis dermatitis: practical pearls for the dermatologic nurse.

    Abstract

    Stasis dermatitis is a common, chronic skin condition. Treatment requires attention to local skin-care measures, systemic factors contributing to pedal edema, and surgical/mechanical approaches to promote venous outflow and decrease pooling. Compliance problems can result when patients have a poor understanding of their treatment program, have anxiety regarding costs, or experience the discomfort associated with therapy. Understanding the pathophysiology of stasis dermatitis, and treatment options with emphasis on practical treatment can improve patient compliance.
