#Pyodermagagrenosum is a rare ulcerating skin condition that most of us think of in conjunction with IBD. PG can be associated with other things too, so if there’s no IBD, we should also consider other triggers, like the possibility of paraneoplastic processes.

PG is a neutrophilic dermatosis, so like Sweet Syndrome, it starts as a pustule, & ulcerates from there. Remember pathergy is a classic associated finding with neutrophilic derms. See my #tweetorial on sweet syndrome for a discussion of pathergy!
