What area of the body does pyoderma gangrenosum usually affect?

Arms
Legs
Back
Face

The correct answer is: Legs

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a type of inflammatory skin condition that commonly impacts the legs. This condition typically presents as painful ulcers that can rapidly worsen and often occur after trauma or injury to the area. Although pyoderma gangrenosum can occur in other parts of the body, its strong association with the lower extremities, particularly the legs, makes this choice the most characteristic presentation. Understanding the prevalence of pyoderma gangrenosum in various locations is crucial for prompt diagnosis and effective management, as it can often be mistaken for other types of ulcers or infections.
