ABSTRACT
Background:
Pyoderma vegetans (PV) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown etiology. Currently, there are no treatment guidelines for PV. Systemic steroids are often used as first-line therapy, but recurrence upon discontinuation or tapering is common.Materials andmethods:
We tested the efficacy of doxycycline at a dose of 200 mg/d to treat resistant PV.Results:
After 4 weeks of treatment we noticed a significant improvement in the clinical appearance of PV.Conclusions:
Our case demonstrates the potential utility of doxycycline as a systemic steroid-sparing agent in the treatment of PV.Palabras clave
