Pigmented purpuric dermatosis (PPD) is a chronic disorder characterized by distinct petechial hemorrhage and brownish pigmentation. The cause of PPD is unclear, but several underlying conditions are associated with it. Previous reports suggest that venous insufficiency (VI) might be related to PPD; however, a clear correlation remains unelucidated.
