Necrobiosis lipoidica is an inflammatory disorder, associated with diabetes mellitus, for which the underlying pathological mechanism is unknown and for which there is no rational therapy. However, benefit has been reported from such different treatment regimens as drugs acting on the haemostatic mechanisms, corticosteroid therapy (topical, intralesional and systemic), enhancers of wound healing, surgery and immunomodulating therapies (including photochemotherapy). This is a review of these treatment options.

Key Words: necrobiosis lipoidica.
