Pyoderma gangrenosum is a condition that causes tissue to become necrotic causing deep ulcers that usually occur on the legs. When they occur they can lead to chronic wounds. Ulcers usually initially look like small bug bites or papules and they progress to larger ulcers. Though the wounds rarely lead to death they can cause pain and scarring.The disease was identified in 1930. It affects approximately 1 person in 100000 in the population.
