How will they remove a pyogenic granuloma??


I have a pyogenic granuloma on my leg. I just got a referral from my doctor today and will be going to the dermatologist sometime soon. He said that they will burn it off, but I am reading up on it and seeing many other ways to treat. I have a severe phobia of needles and the like, and I tend to have minor panic attacks before a shot or anything like that, and a low pain tolerance, and the entire thing is scaring me. What will they do and how much pain will I be in?
----------

Aka "proud flesh"

Depending on how big the lesion is and where it is, a variety of techniques could be used sucessfully. The dermatologist will know which one to use to achieve the best cosmetic look and to cause the least discomfort. Be sure to let the Dr. know about your fears. He/she can then be extra certain to make the whole thing as painless as possible.

I predict after this is all done, you will be asking, "Is that all there was to it?" Hardly worth worrying about now, right?
Good luck.  (+ info)

Most pyogenic granulomas can be removed, but scarring may appear after treatment. Recurrences at the same site are not infrequent.  (+ info)

Have you tried a polyurethane foam dressing?


Harris and Rolstad report the findings of a small clinical trial of a polyurethane foam to treat over granulation:
“Although there is very little in the literature regarding hypergranulation tissue, the fact that there are numerous treatments by various wound clinicians demonstrates the recognition of its presence as a clinical problem. The paucity of published information prompted the authors to design a study to collect objective data on a treatment method they had found useful in their practices. This article explores the issue of hypergranulation and offers a nontraumatic method of management. A prospective non-controlled correlational study was undertaken with ten patients and twelve wounds using a polyurethane foam dressing to reduce hypergranulation tissue. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in height of 2 mm of granulation tissue from initial measurements to measurements taken two weeks later."  (+ info)

Will burning a pyogenic granuloma with a magnifying glass cause skin cancer?


A granuloma appeared on my middle finger about six months ago following a deep splinter. It quickly grew to the size of a dime within the period of a month. My doctor had a biopsy done and unsuccessfully curetted and cauterized it.

After that, I tried freezing it (myself) with liquid nitrogen several times, with no luck. Finally, I have been burning it with a magnifying glass every third day for the past two weeks and now it appears to be almost completely gone.

I am not blackening the skin during this procedure, just heating it until I can't stand the pain. The granuloma immediately began drying out and the bulk of it fell off after the first two treatments.

Could this treatment cause skin cancer?
----------

No but it is a stupid thing to do. You are inviting septicemia.  (+ info)

pyogenic granuloma question?


I went to the doctor to get this thing next to the inside corner of my eye checked out. They said it was pyogenic granuloma. I looked up pictures of it and they all are red, mine is a little lighter than my skin color (barely) and its quite a bit smaller. Im 13, but have ahad it since I was maybe 11 1/2. Do you think its pyogenic granuloma?

And how will they need to remove it? Please dont tell me some 18 letter word that i cant pronounce, dumb it down to a 13 year olds level please, lol.

Thanks!
yeah im pretty scared, but its not on or in my eyelid, its like a couple centimeters away from the corner of my eye. >_<
----------

My mom had one removed and I watched it. You will have you eye numbed...I know it sounds scary but it is not. Then they cut the granuloma out. Hers was on the inisde of the lower lid and she did not really have any pain afterward. The doctor will turn your eyelid inside out to do the proceedure which might make your eyes water.  (+ info)
