I have both. with stasis dematitis and eczema on my legs. on my trunk i have eczema only. how should i best manage these two simultaneously?

Veins: Stasis dermatitis is associated with chronic venous insufficiency (cvi). Eczema on the legs can be associated with cvi but it would not cause the eczema on the trunk. I would tell you to see a board certified phlebologist for probable underlying cvi and your primary care physician for the eczema. They should start you in graduated compression stockings.

Stasis dermatitis: Stasis dermatitis though similar in appearance to eczema is secondary to venous disease in most situations. First, need to deal with venous reflux (abnormal vein function) and then manage skin problems with topical agents. Suggest ultrasound to assess cause of venous reflux and management based on findings.

Leg dermatitis: Stasis dermatitis is also sometimes called venous eczema. So, even though you have eczema on your trunk, your leg eczema could be entirely related to varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Steroid creams usually help eczema but do much less for venous eczema. Venous eczema is much more likely to be helped by treating the venous hypertension in your legs as dr. Hanson said.
