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.

Clean up
This picture taken October 13th illustrates by what degree the edges have smoothed out and healed up. I have been using the Telfa bandages along with Mupirocin ointment. It really stings for about fifteen minutes or so after its application but it is effective.
The top part of my Pyoderma looks a bit rough and a sporting a darker red color. This is actually an effect of my bandages sliding off and exposing the higher leg, resulting in some scabbing.
Although it still looks awful the amount of pain and discomfort I had been experiencing has been greatly reduced. At times I feel a single sharpish stinging but its brief and often muted by a few Tylenol.
