Penile pyoderma gangrenosum: successful treatment with colchicine.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is an ulcerative skin disease with variable clinical outcomes. The diagnosis is based on clinical features and exclusion of other ulcerative diseases. To date, a specific treatment is not known. Since the disease can be destructive, aggressive treatment is preferable. Here, we present a patient with a penile pyoderma gangrenosum who was successfully treated with low-dose colchicine.
