Allergic vasculitis is an inflammation of the small blood vessels of the skin, which is usually related to a reaction of the immune system.
Common symptoms: It's characterized by the appearance of reddish or purplish spots or dots on the skin, especially on the legs, that are sometimes accompanied by itching, burning, or small lesions.
Common causes: It can be associated with infections, with certain substances or medications, and with other conditions that activate the immune system.
