Summary:Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a chronic skin disease (dermatosis) associated with various metabolic disorders including carbohydrate metabolism.In the last years, NL has been increasingly frequently diagnosed by practitioners probably due to the rise in type 2 diabetes mellitus morbidity in thegeneral population.
