Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Pyoderma gangrenosum is an autoimmune disease of the skin that causes enlarging, painful ulcers with ragged, undermined, purplish borders. Pyoderma gangrenosum is frequently mistaken for other conditions, and early diagnosis is essential to avoid disfiguring surgery and prolonged recovery.
