Abstract: Stasis dermatitis (SD), also known as venous eczema or gravitational dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition primarily affecting the lower extremities due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). This condition is characterized by edema, hyperpigmentation, and the risk of venous ulcers, leading to a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems. Despite its prevalence, SD is often misdiagnosed or overlooked in primary care settings, delaying treatment and increasing the risk of complications. This review aims to bridge the knowledge gap by providing a comprehensive evaluation of SD, including its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies.
