The name atrophie blanche is also sometimes applied to conditions associated with livedoid vasculitis, livedoid vasculopathy, or livedo reticular and patients who present with atrophie blanche may have serious vascular inflammation.
A couple of members @angelasmom and @famalvar75gmailcom have talked about atrophie blanche in the past, and i hope @spence, @amjor2, @vickieb, @swing1929, @zenk, @marlene64, @patientrea, @gonefishinmt, @mlemieux, will also join in and share their insights.

@grandmaabby, such debilitating conditions are not only physically draining, but can affect one's mental/emotional well-being too; how are you finding relief right now?
