Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, inflammatory skin disease where painful pustules or nodules become ulcers that progressively grow.[3] Pyoderma gangrenosum is not infectious.[3]
Treatments may include corticosteroids, ciclosporin, infliximab, or canakinumab.[2]
The disease was identified in 1930. It affects approximately 1 person in 100,000 in the population. Though it can affect people of any age, it mostly affects people in their 40s and 50s.[1]
