Ouch


This Pyoderma ulcer on my leg doesn't seem to want to quit growing. I am supposed to start taking some type of steroids orally to help fight this lesion, but I have another test to complete and they don't want me taking anything until after the next exam is completed.

I remember when the bandages covered the entire ulcer but it has continued to expand. The most effective way to measure the extent of growth or expansion is to compare pictures and to note the increasing amounts of gauze or dressings required to dress the area.
