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.

flare ups
As I continue to take a smaller dosage of Prednisone, my pyoderma is struggling to return. After a shower a few days ago i noticed that some of my skin 'came off'. this area has been healed up for almost a year. There isn't much I can do. I have put some Neosporin on it and am hoping for the best.

Ho Hum
Its been over a year since my diagnosis of having Multiple Myeloma. Although the amount of cancer in my system is small, it seems it was enough to trigger this Pyoderma.
My ulcer seems to have calmed down a little but unfortunately expanded a tad too. As the pic illustrates the skin surrounding the ulcer seems to just be disappearing. And it is, like slowly burning newsprint.
My Rx hasn't been changed and I have not been in contact with the specialist in Boston yet. I have left a few messages and even spoke to an assistant but have yet received a call. I'm not sure how they stay in business up there..
