Violaceous-rimmed ulcers.
2005
A 40-year-old man presented with a violaceous-rimmed ulceration on his inner thigh. He complained of crusting and drainage, but the lesion was otherwise asymptomatic. It began as a pimple, expanded into a small erosion, and then progressed to an ulceration (Figure). Medications at the time of presentation included prednisone and delayed-release mesalamine.
