A chronic eczematous process affecting the skin of the lower legs in association with chronic lower limb lymphoedema and immobility. It is often associated with lipodermatosclerosis. Failure of the normal "muscle pump" to aid venous return is an important component in the aetiology. It is common in the morbidly obese. It is characterised by low grade inflammation with variable scaling and desquamation.
