​Dermatology - Pyogenic Granuloma
Pyogenic granuloma is a frequently occurring vascular lesion that typically develops quickly in response to modest injury.
A pyogenic granuloma is a vascular lesion that becomes degraded and bleeds either spontaneously or after minimal trauma. The lesion exhibits a sleek texture, either with or without scabs, and may or may not have erosion. The lesion manifests as a vivid red, dark red, purplish, or dark brown-black bump with an overgrowth of the outer layer of skin at the bottom. It can be found on the fingers, lips, mouth, torso, and toes.
The diagnosis is made based on clinical examination, and it is important to exclude the possibility of amelanocytic nodular cancer.
The recommended treatment involves surgically removing the affected area or using a technique called curettage with electrodesiccation at the base.
