Hi, i have capillaritis, (occasional) venous ulcers and high blood pressure, would you say they are connected, i am a 38 year old woman in good health?

Yes and no: There is no relation to high blood pressure. The capillaritis (pigmented brown spots) and the venous ulcers are related. Most patient's with disease of the veins in the legs develop swelling (edema) and a brownish discoloration of the skin which is permanent. This is caused by red blood cells leaking into the tissues due to the increased pressure in the veins. Life long condition, no cure

VENOUS ULCER: There is no connection between high blood pressure and venous ulcers. Venous ulcers are due to high back pressure in the veins usually due to malfunctioning of the venous valves and the standard blood pressure is related to arterial pressure not venous.

Most can be helped.: Venous ulcers & discolored skin (capillaritis) result from venous insufficiency, unrelated to BP. Another doc answer said "incurable," which is not true in most patients. A good venous ultrasound with reflux studies should show what veins underlie the problem. In many cases these veins can be successfully treated with a brief office procedure called vein ablation, local anesthesia. Hope this helps
