Article Synopsis
- Skin ulcers in patients with systemic sclerosis can be severely painful and challenging to treat.
- A case study shows that using becaplermin gel along with oral immunosuppressive agents effectively treats these ulcers, with healing times around 3 months.
- The treatment's success was comparable to other oral medications and specialized surgical options, with no major surgeries needed except for a biopsy.
