What is Pyoderma Gangrenosum?
Typically found on the legs, this type of ulcer is relatively rare, and its exact cause remains unknown. It tends to occur more frequently in individuals with immune disorders or underlying conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or arthritis. These ulcers occur rapidly but exhibit a positive response to treatment.
What to look for
This kind of ulcer often begins as a small red bump, resembling a spider bite. Quickly, it can evolve into a large and painful sore, typically appearing on the legs but potentially developing anywhere on the body. It may also occur near surgical sites, and multiple sores can merge into a larger ulcer.
If you’re concerned about an open wound, it’s essential to reach out to Jovive Wound Care promptly for assistance. Seeking care early ensures a faster start to the healing process.
