Venous dermatitis is a skin inflammation that is most common in patients over the age of 50. It is caused by poor blood circulation in the legs, and risk factors that increase your odds of developing this condition include obesity, inactivity and varicose veins. Venous dermatitis is not terribly serious on its own, but if it is left unchecked, it can turn into leg ulcerations that are much more challenging to treat. For this reason, it is best to seek medical assistance for venous dermatitis as soon as symptoms appear.
