Stasis dermatitis is inflammation on the lower legs resulting from the pooling of blood and fluid.
(See also Overview of Dermatitis.)
Stasis dermatitis occurs in people who have chronic venous insufficiency of the lower legs, which is damage to leg veins that prevents blood from flowing normally. People develop swelling (edema), varicose veins (dilated, twisted veins) rarely, and lastly stasis dermatitis. Stasis dermatitis usually occurs on the ankles but may spread upward to the knees.
