Abstract

Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic ulcerative dermatosis that poses a high burden of morbidity due to underdiagnosis, resistance to therapy and limited therapeutic options. Optimization of wound care strategies and multimodal anti-inflammatory approaches are necessary to mitigate multiple converging pathways of inflammation leading to delayed healing, which is further complicated by additional factors such as pathergy.
