Signs and symptoms

In superficial granulomatous pyoderma, ulcers typically have a clean base and vegetating borders, making them more superficial. Unlike pyoderma gangrenosum, superficial granulomatous pyoderma is more frequently associated with truncal involvement and is not always linked to underlying systemic disease.^[2]
