Cutaneous Small Vessel Vasculitis

Cutaneous small vessel vasculitis is a condition where the small blood vessels in the skin become inflamed. This can cause symptoms like red spots, rashes, or swelling. It often arises as a reaction to infections, medications, or other underlying health issues. While it primarily affects the skin, it can sometimes indicate problems in other parts of the body. Treatment usually focuses on addressing the underlying cause and relieving symptoms, often with medications that reduce inflammation. Most cases improve with proper care, but ongoing monitoring is essential to manage and understand the condition better.
