New to group - Aytipical PG

[Guest guest]

Hi

I was just diagnosed with Atypical PG, after surgery, it had taken

over a year and several surgeries for the diagnosis. I was so happy

to find this group, thanks for letting me join, reading the posts

and comments has already helped so much.

I had a few questions to ask as there are a lot of people who have

experience with PG here.

I just started treatment 3 weeks ago with 20mg of Prednisone (hate

the prednisone already), 75mg dapsone and .1 protopic.

Has anyone else had any luck with the above doses? It appears the

ulcer beds are not as deep, and there is some granulation, but I

still have the purple raised borders that seem to be expanding with

dark spots. I see my Derm at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester on Monday

and I want to make sure I am asking the right questions too.

Also, dressing dilemmas, I was using Tegaderm, but because of the

size I now need something a bit more absorbent and covering, any

suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
