Ive had Pyoderma gangrenosum on my shin for 8 years. At this point the largest size it has increased to is 17.5×32.5 cm, but it is currently 13x 21cm. Most drs dont know what it is or how to treat it. So thankfully they had some infectious disease drs at my clinic one day and they all diagnosed it together. Since then it has been a series of going to the Er because it smells so bad and i think its infected to countless dr visits and going on amd off medications for my rheumatoid arthritus, but getting regular wound care has been the single most effective treatment thus far. For people that are suffering with it, i truley wish you the best.
I’ve had this condition for 22 years since I was 16 in 1997. Over the years I’ve had very large and deep wounds which have left me unable to walk. I’m treated with immune suppression and generally it’s kept things under control.
619? I'm in San Diego too. UCSD sucks in PG treatment! .... I'm glad you are having sucess in controlling yours. Mine hurts so much today I want to scream.
hello my brother is having very serious problems due to this disease. Do you know any treatment method, doctor or medicine? we live in turkey.
Merhaba eşime de bu hastalık tanısı koyuldu, yaklaşık 15 gün oldu. Prednol kullanıyor ve yara bakımı yapıyoruz. Çok tedirginiz, bununla ilgili videolar izlerken sizi gördüm:( Kardeşinizin durumu nedir?
Have him see a dermatologist and see if his Dr can him regular wound care from a nurse. This has been the most effective treatment for me.
Hopeless it seems. 🤕😢
💔💔
I agree.
No it's not hopeless. If I gave up hope I wouldn't have a leg right now. Instead I kept fighting to get better and finally it is getting smaller. So never ever give up!!!
