Welcome, @bronte, I'm tagging a few members like @zenk @angel1234 @msmerry @cwhorton @merrycat @aimeenc @ruthnz @ykh128 @yoan02 and others to join me in welcoming you.

Livedoid vasculopathy is a rare vasculopathy. Are you getting treatment and guidance on caring for the wounds?

I'm in NZ and had fantastic free govt hospital wound clinic treatment for the LV and finally recovered. I only ever took Asprin and stopped that when I recovered. BUT some months later I developed Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis LCV which presented as similar to LV, but with an unknown cause. One day a Silver impregnanted cloth treatment I had used very successfully for both turned my life upside down again, and I had developed contact vasculitis. This meant I could put no dressings on my leg/s, ended up in hospital and after some months it finally cleared up and I have stayed clear since Nov 2022. I am very careful about what I don't eat, mostly eat cooking from scratch, don't use any chemicals on my skin and take some supplements. So far so good.
