Abstract
  • What is livedoid vasculopathy (LV)? Livedoid vasculopathy, or LV, is a chronic skin condition characterized by small, painful sores that come and go over the legs and feet. ‘Livedoid’ refers to the bluish skin discoloration that often accompanies these sores. ‘Vasculopathy’ means a disease of the blood vessels. LV has been called different names such as livedoid vasculitis and atrophie blanche. LV is a rare disease, occurring in less than one in 100,000 people per year.
