Hi..dear dvpadmanabharaju.,
Thanks for choosing HCM.,
STASIS ECZEMA..,Eczematization of stasis ulcer in the leg..,
It is due to inherent weakness of the venous vlaves due to standing ..,
for long hours.....long standing ulcer with itching produces eczematization..,
1) Correction of cause..,
2) Prevention stasisby avoiding standing..,
3) Don't scratch over the ulcer..,
4) Tab...cetrizine daily to alleviate the itching..,
5) Surgical correction by ligation of long sephanous vein..,
and anstomotic channels..,

Dermatologist Dr. Prajakta Talathi's  Response
Stasis eczema is primarily due to varicose veins (Dialated leg veins).. so you will have to check that first because if you dont treat preexisting varicosities then eczema will recur.
For your current situation a course of antibiotics and usage of steroid-antibiotic cream may help. Keep your legs about 6-8 inches above your body level when you sleep and avoid standing or walkng for long hrs.
