Left leg the day before my birthday. I didn't photograph my other leg at the time because I was just trying to show mom the LV itself, not the secondary infection that had set in on the right leg. Also, I was in intense pain, so I wasn't exactly thinking about chronicling.

Both legs a month later. A second outbreak had occurred on the backs of my legs, but by this time was finally clearing up and we were hoping things were over. A new outbreak on my feet and ankles would start 2 days later. This round also started showing ulcerations on the thigh and ankle.

The beginning of the third round of LV outbreaks. This was the one that prompted my dermatologist to turn me over to a rheumatologist, since it was starting to look like a chronic condition.

The beginning of the fourth round of LV outbreaks. You can see how large the third round ankle spot got.

Fourth round of LV outbreaks is finally healing after treatment with oral steroids. You can see the swelling has gone down considerably between the previous picture and this one.
