  1. Hi . I cannot personally speak to pyoderma gangrenosum, but I want to share this article for everyone out in case those unfamiliar want more information: https://www.hmpgloballearningnetwork.com/site/wounds/content/pyoderma-gangrenosum-and-rheumatoid-arthritis-with-massive-necrotic-ulcer-of-right-foot#:~:text=Pyoderma%20gangrenosum%20(PG)%20is%20associated,also%20affect%20the%20entire%20body. Hopefully anyone else with personal knowledge will chime in with their experience. Is there anything in particular you do to treat it? Wishing you the best. Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)

    1. Hi, ! I can't add to what Richard already wrote, but I do hope you find someone else in this community that knows about or has experience with this issue. Thanks for reaching out! Thanks to you, I am now learning about a rare RA related condition that I did not know about previously.
