Livedoid vasculopathy is a chronic, recurrent skin disorder. It seriously affects the quality of patients’ life. However, the pathogenesis has not been fully identified yet. Here, this retrospective study describes the successful use of anti-TNF-α agent adalimumab in three cases of refractory livedoid vasculopathy, which has not been reported previously. In addition, we provide some clinical evidence that adalimumab therapy is efficient in improving skin lesions and relieving the pain of livedoid vasculopathy.
