What is chronic pyoderma?
Chronic pyoderma is a rare, long-term, and often recurring skin condition. Bumps or blisters (anywhere on the skin but most frequently on the legs) merge to form potentially large ulcers or open sores. The cause is unclear but is thought to be related to an immune system problem. Adults with immune system disorders, certain cancers, or recent skin injuries are at a higher risk of developing this condition.

Scars or marks from the rash/wound
