Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hi Lee, Our EN Group supports members with either erythema nodosum (EN) or pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). While EN is rare, PG is even rarer and that is why we have fewer members with PG. Than EN. PG is much more serious than EN and requires care by a specialist. Having EN puts one at greater risk of developing PG, but still most with EN will not get it. PG often is associated with other autoimmune disorders like Crohn's Disease, however, not always. Since these disorders are related, and many with PG once had EN, we find no problem with discussing both issues on this one group. EN members need to be aware of PG symptoms in the rare event that they develop it. PG requires immediate medical care and knowing how to recognize it and how it is treated can save you from unnecessary pain. If your EN nodes start to form a blister and ulcerate, it requires immediate medical attention as it could be the start of PG. PG can spread very fast, so keep a close watch on anything suspicious.
