A member asked:
Please let me know if there is any preventative measures for livedo reticularis with ulcerations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Livedo Reticularis: There is no treatment for livedo reticularis. Rewarming the area in idiopathic cases or treatment of the underlying cause of secondary livedo may reverse the discolouration. However, over time the vessels become permanently dilated and livedo reticularis becomes permanent regardless of the surrounding temperature.
