Pyoderma Gangrenosum is a very rare skin condition that is not well known and not well understood. People can have the ailment for a few weeks or even years. There is almost no information on how to go about your life while suffering this condition.

Ring of fire
This picture illustrates the thick band or ring that forms around Pyoderma. Strips or strings of dead tissue can be seen around the edges. I have never intentionally removed dead tissue. I usually leave it alone and it just comes off when bandages are removed or maybe while in the shower.
These swollen rings will exist for about a week then they disappear. The center area of the wound doesn't really change. Most of the changes happen on the outer edges.
