The present invention generally provides a compression dressing and a method for using same to treat an externally treatable condition. The compression dressing includes a plurality of longitudinal yarns arranged to form a fabric having a length and generally parallel to the length and a plurality of lateral elastomeric yarns connecting adjacent longitudinal yarns and equally spaced about a length of the longitudinal yarns where, in a stretched state, the longitudinal yarns are spaced from one another and remain generally parallel to the length. The method includes the steps of providing such a compression dressing, applying the compression dressing to an area of the patient having the externally treatable condition such that pressure is applied to the area, and removing the compression dressing after a period of time.
