Abstract
Necrotising fascitis is a fulminant infective process which can result in significant morbidity and can indeed be life threatening. It needs to be recognised early and managed aggressively with extensive surgical debridement followed by appropriate antibiotics. On the other hand, Pyoderma gangrenosum is a disease process that needs to be managed non-surgically. We present one such case, the diagnosis of which had treaded along the thin line between the two.
