Superficial granulomatous pyoderma.
We report the case of a 30-year-old man who, from the age of 16, presented with abscess-type lesions that turned into ulcers with a torpid course and with histopathologic characteristics of superficial granulomatous pyoderma. The patient has been followed for 6 years, during which time the only treatment necessary to prevent recurrence of lesions has been the administration of different doses of minocycline.
