Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis:
Most commonly seen on the lower extremities, the lesions of leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) are red to deep purple, as seen here and are nonblanchable (a must do bedside diagnostic). LCV also appears on dependent areas, like the back, if the patient is in the hospital. Resolved lesions may result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and hemosiderin deposition. Note that bullae may be present within lesions.
