Dermatose érosive et pustuleuse de jambes : étude rétrospective de 16 cas

Our study demonstrates the need for skin biopsy with DIF for patients presenting a clinical picture evocative of EPDL, since the clinical presentation can be very similar to that of pretibial pemphigoid. Trophic disorders associated with venous stasis are common in EPDL, although they are difficult to interpret because of the high prevalence of this condition among the elderly. Mention must be made of associated marked sun damage, suggesting a possible relationship between EPDL and erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp.
