A skin condition in which white blood cells damage small blood vessels in the skin.

Understanding Vasculitis, lymphocytic, nodular

Lymphocytic nodular vasculitis is a skin condition in which white blood cells (lymphocytes) damage blood vessels in the skin.

It is one of several conditions called cutaneous vasculitis. Symptoms depend on the size, location, and severity of the affected area. In a minority of people, it can be part of a more widespread form that affects other organs, called systemic vasculitis.
