anyone had a pyoderma? I thought mine was healing, but now I see it tunneling again! I had several injections, and that seemed to help. I'm so tired of all of this. I'm finally recovering from 3 surgeries and ready to go back to work. This is starting to feel like there is no end. Ive had several steroid injections. They seem to help for a weeks or two... Any advice word be helpful.
Yes I have had Pyoderma Gangrenosum on my lower leg. It is related to UC in that it is an inflammatory auto-immune condition. Mine lasted about a year but it can vary a lot in intensity from person to person. I think that finding a good dermatologist is the best thing to do. I had the cortisone injections and I am on Imuran (azathioprine) to suppress my immune system. Mine eventually went away but has left some nasty scars. Search online if you have not done so. There are some facebook pages and other sites that might help. Sorry I can't be more help.
