Hi @cwhorton, welcome. Allow me to tag fellow members like @msmerry @ykh128 @yoan02 @ruthnz @zenk @patientrea @cleverrover, who have experience with livedoid vasculitis and can share their experiences with you and their tips for avoiding outbreaks and dealing with warm weather.

CWhorton, have you consulted with a hemotologist and a dermatologist?
