Comments

A 30 year old construction worker developed symmetric confluent purpuric papules on the legs above the sock line after spending 8 hours in heavy boots at work. Skin biopsy showed a leukocytoclastic vasculitis. A systemic evaluation for vasculitis failed to reveal a source. Note the sharp line of demarcation at the sock line.
