Livedoid vasculitis is an inflammatory condition that mostly affects the skin's tiny blood vessels near the ankle. Its clinical characteristics include a grape-like plaque on the skin, a painful ulcer, and an ivory-white atrophic scar that remains after healing [1]. Summer is when the condition is most dangerous, while winter is when it is least severe. The disease's course is long and difficult to treat, making it prone to recurrence. The cause of Livedoid vasculitis is currently unknown, and there is no particular treatment. With the growth and development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), TCM external treatment has made steady progress in the field of promoting wound healing. Shengji Yuhong Ointment has been proven in studies to have a wide variety of clinical uses in the treatment of chronic wounds, including pressure ulcers, diabetic foot, burns, and anorectal illnesses following surgery, among others [2]. In this study, we explored the use of Shengji Yuhong Ointment in the treatment of wounds caused by Livedoid vasculitis and reported the effectiveness of one instance. The patient had multiple superficial skin ulceration in both feet, with a maximal size of 1.5*1.5 cm. After 21 days of therapy with Shengji Yuhong Ointment, patients' healing trends, good safety assessment, and considerable curative impact are projected to make it a recommended clinical medication usage.
