    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Wound Healing
    • Oxygen Therapy

    Background:

    • Systemic hyperbaric oxygen is used for pyoderma gangrenosum.
    • Systemic administration carries risks of oxygen toxicity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a simplified topical hyperbaric oxygen delivery method.
    • To assess the efficacy of topical hyperbaric oxygen in treating pyoderma gangrenosum.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique for topical hyperbaric oxygen administration was developed.
    • Two patients with idiopathic pyoderma gangrenosum were treated with this method.

    Main Results:

    • Successful treatment of two pyoderma gangrenosum patients.
    • Observed abundant granulation tissue formation.
