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.
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.

Ho Hum
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..
