Pyoderma gangrenosum.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon skin disorder often associated with systemic disease, especially chronic ulcerative colitis (Figures 1, 2, and 3). Therapy is twofold--local care and control of the underlying illness. While the overall prognosis is good and the disease is rarely fatal, pyoderma gangrenosum is physically and mentally crippling with a propensity for recurrence.
