I have been receiving fareston treatment, and now have a condition stasis dermatitis, which can become severe. I am taking clindamycin for the infection.

Hello,

If you are taking Fareston, you may have skin rashes or redness but venous stasis dermatitis cannot be due to Fareston.

Stasis dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease that occurs on the lower extremities. Venous stasis dermatitis happens when there's a problem with your veins, usually in your lower legs, that keeps blood from moving through very well.

The condition often affects people who have circulation problems. When your veins don't work well, they don't return blood back to your heart like they're supposed to.

Because circulation is the main issue, your doctor may suggest surgery to repair your veins.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
