Pyoderma Chronic Vegetative

Chronic vegetative pyoderma

Chronic vegetative pyoderma (lat. pyodermia chronica vegetans) is a chronic recurrent skin disease characterized by the formation of multiple pustules and erosions covered with purulent crusts.

Synonyms: allochronic vegetative pyoderma, chronic pustular dermatitis, Lambergera frambesioform dermatitis, Sezari.

The disease begins with the appearance of small pustules and erosions, which then merge into larger lesions covered with purulent crusts. Mostly exposed areas of the skin are affected - the face, hands, and forearms. The lesions slowly increase in size, resembling tumor growth. Characterized by itching and pain.

The reasons for the development of chronic vegetative pyoderma are not completely clear. Allergic, immunological, infectious factors are considered. Treatment is complex, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory therapy, and immunotherapy. The prognosis depends on the effectiveness of treatment; with proper selection of therapy, long-term remission is possible.
