How can stasis dermatitis be prevented?

Stasis dermatitis is usually the result of a chronic illness, such as congestive heart failure, so it’s difficult to prevent if you’re already ill.

However, you can reduce your risk by preventing the swelling in your legs (the peripheral edema) that causes it.

You can also lower your risk by exercising. Exercise is a great way to improve your circulation and reduce your body fat. Limiting the amount of sodium you consume can also help.
