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.
