We report nine cases with acute or subacute lipodermatosclerosis treated successfully using multilayer bandages. All patients were women aged 52–90 years. Before presenting to our clinic, all patients had been treated for a tentative diagnosis of cellulitis caused by bacterial infection or inflammation of unknown cause for 3–19 weeks without improvement. Initially, we instructed all patients or their caregivers regarding the bandaging technique to achieve an interface pressure of >40 mmHg. Subsequently, this technique was continued by patients/caregivers. Symptoms subsided within 2–7 weeks in all patients except one who had been noncompliant with the compression therapy.
