Necrobiosis lipoidica is a necrotising skin condition that usually occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus but can also be associated with rheumatoid arthritis.[1] In the former case it may be called necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD).[2] NLD occurs in approximately 0.3% of the diabetic population, with the majority of sufferers being women (approximately 3:1 females to males affected).
The severity or control of diabetes in an individual does not affect who will or will not get NLD.[3]Better maintenance of diabetes after being diagnosed with NLD will not change how quickly the NLD will resolve.
