Compression therapy in dermatology

Compression therapy is a conservative therapy that can be used in many patients with dermatological conditions, especially those associated with edema. In addition to its well‐established use in venous and lymphatic disorders, there is increasing evidence that compression therapy supports the healing of inflammatory dermatoses. The presence of edema, regardless of its etiology, is an indication for the use of compression therapy.
