Description
A painful skin ulcer that races outward after a trivial injury is the signature of pyoderma gangrenosum, a rare neutrophil driven skin disease. Mayeesha Khan and two co-authors present in 2026 a twenty-six year old South Asian woman whose calf ulcer began with a cat scratch. Her family doctor first read it as infected folliculitis and prescribed an antibiotic.
The article, written in French, stresses how easily the disease is mistaken for infection or vessel disease, which delays care. A disproportionate reaction to minor skin trauma is a recognized clue. First line care is immune suppression with corticosteroids, with other agents and wound care behind it. The authors add notes on how the ulcer's edge looks in darker skin tones.
