Abstract

The management of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) requires a structured approach to establishing diagnosis of the disease and assessment of the patient. Clinical management of active PG lesions should be carried out in coordination with other specialists (such as nurses and pain managers) and often necessitates a flexible, innovate attitude to therapy, because the needs of individual patients may vary widely. Although there is no single successful treatment for this disease, certain types of PG lesions are recognized to respond more readily to accepted therapies than others. We outline guidelines to the management of the patient with PG and discuss alternative therapies.
