Clinical Aspect of Erosive Pustular Dermatosis of the Leg (Clin-EPDL)

August 7, 2018 updated by: CHU de Reims

Erosive pustular dermatosis of the leg is a fairlyrecent clinical entity that was described the first time in 1987.

Diagnosis of erosive pustular dermatosis of the leg is made on clinical grounds. It presents as non-follicular pustules of variable size and numbers that rapidly give way to erosions and crusts on one or both legs, and which are found in particular on the anterior aspect of the middle third of the leg (. The lesions are of chronic progression, despite topical therapy. Erosive pustular dermatosis of the leg is seen in elderly patients, mainly female, and may be associated with chronic venous insufficiency or cutaneous atrophy. In the absence of specific criteria and because of the existence of misleading clinical forms, diagnosis is based upon exclusion.
