Abstract:
Pyoderma gangrenosum is uncommon, non-infectious, ulcerative Skin condition, rapidly progressive in size and extremely painful. Thirty to fifty percent cases are associated with underlying systemic disease. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) offers an effective treatment possibility for therapy resistant pyoderma gangrenosum. Here we present a case of 11-year old female who did not respond sufficiently to the conventional treatment i.e. prednisolone and azathioprine but underwent complete remission after PRP therapy.
