| description | Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a chronic neutrophilic dermatological disorder mostly seen in adults. The incidence of PG is only 4% in the pediatric age group.

In such a dilemma, our case showed successful recovery with systemic steroids and colchicine confirming the diagnosis of PG. |
