Vasculitis - allergic hypersensitivity; Cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis
The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation.
Aspirin or corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce inflammation of the blood vessels. (DO NOT give aspirin to children except as advised by the health care provider.)
If possible, your doctor may tell you to stop taking the medicine that caused this condition. Do not stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
Allergic vasculitis usually goes away over time.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of allergic vasculitis.
