Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Phagadenic ulcers are painful, non-healing skin lesions.
  • Conventional therapies are often ineffective for severe cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of systemic corticosteroids and topical oxoferrin (TCDO) in treating phagadenic ulcers.

Main Methods:

  • Four patients with multiple, non-healing phagadenic ulcers were treated.
  • Initial treatment involved systemic corticosteroids.
  • One patient with recurring ulcers received additional topical oxoferrin (TCDO).

Main Results:

  • All patients showed improvement with systemic corticosteroids.
  • The male patient with recurring ulcers experienced significant healing with topical oxoferrin (TCDO).

  • Pus cultures were negative in all cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Systemic corticosteroids are a viable treatment for phagadenic ulcers.
    • Topical oxoferrin (TCDO) may be beneficial for managing refractory or recurring cases.
