Abstract
Pyoderma gangrenosum associated with ulcerative colitis is an unknown etiology of destructive skin disorder, characterized by progressive painful ulceration. It begins as a erythematous areola or pustule and rapidly progress into a deep ulceration with a discrete and violaceous edge. Early diagnosis followed with non-compressive moist dressing, topical application and systemic immunosuppressants are cornerstone in treating this disease. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum exacerbated with incision and drainage in a 15 year old girl with ulcerative colitis. This case emphasizes the importance of early consideration of pyoderma gangrenosum in patient with a background of related systemic disease and minimal traumatized wound care.
