    The management of lipodermatosclerosis may include treating venous insufficiency with leg elevation and elastic compression stockings. [9] In some difficult cases, the condition may be improved with the additional use of the fibrinolytic agent, stanozol. Fibrinolytic agents use an enzymatic action to help dissolve blood clots.

  8. Schamberg disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schamberg_disease

    Schamberg's disease is caused by leaky blood vessels near the surface of the skin, capillaries, which allow red blood cells to slip through into the skin. [3] The red blood cells in the skin then fall apart and release their iron, which is released from hemoglobin. [3] The iron causes a rust color and this accounts for the orange tint of the ...
