Necrobiosis lipoid is a skin condition characterized by the formation of yellow-brown, waxy plaques, typically occurring on the lower legs. It is associated with underlying conditions such as Diabetes mellitus and may result from a disruption in the normal process of collagen metabolism in the skin. The lesions can be asymptomatic or cause mild discomfort, and while they are not contagious, they can be challenging to treat. Management often focuses on addressing any underlying health issues and may include topical treatments or corticosteroids.
