ABSTRACT

Hiperpigmented or ochre dermatitis (HD) reflects the progression of venous disease. It is important to establish differential diagnosis, sinceit is a common reason for consultation. Pigmented purpuric dermatitis (PPD) represent a broad spectrum of disorders that are characterized by the presence of a purpuric eruption above a hiperpigmented base, asymptomatic, of benign prognosis, and generally following a symmetric distribution of the lower extremities. In this article we review the different clinical characteristics of PPD to correctly identify and differentiate from HD to provide appropriate treatment.
