Pigmented purpuric dermatosis is a skin condition characterized by small, reddish-brown spots on the legs and other areas of the body. it is caused by inflammation of the small blood vessels in the skin, resulting in leakage of red blood cells and the accumulation of a pigment called hemosiderin. the condition is usually idiopathic, but can be caused by medications, infections, or other underlying medical conditions.
What happens during the disease - pigmented purpuric dermatosis
Pigmented purpuric dermatosis is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of reddish-brown patches on the lower legs. it is thought to be caused by abnormal capillary fragility, leading to extravasation of red blood cells and the accumulation of hemosiderin in the skin. this accumulation of hemosiderin causes the characteristic brownish discoloration of the patches. the exact cause of the abnormal capillary fragility is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
