Integrative Chinese-western therapy for Leukocytoclastic vasculitis-induced refractory leg ulcer: An 8-month healing journey with reduced corticosteroid dependency

This case demonstrates that a combination of oral Chinese herbal decoction and low-dose corticosteroids is a highly effective treatment for recalcitrant wounds caused by LCV, with a low recurrence rate. This approach may contribute to a reduction in corticosteroid or immunosuppressant dosage, promote skin ulcer healing, and reduce recurrence rates. The necessity for future randomized controlled trials is evident to ascertain the efficacy of this therapeutic strategy.
