Pyoderma gangrenosum in childhood.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon cutaneous disorder that often begins as a small pustule, but results in localized skin destruction. The latter is characterized by an expanding ulceration with undermined violaceous borders. It may be due to an altered immune response. It often, but not invariably, reflects underlying systemic disease.
