Pyogenic Granuloma treatment in Magdalena Contreras

The management of pyogenic granuloma usually begins with the skin specialist, since it is a small, reddish, benign growth that appears on the skin or mucous membranes and tends to bleed easily.

Why does it appear? It is often related to minor wounds, local irritation, or hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy.

Typical features: A lesion that grows quickly, with a smooth or moist surface, that bleeds with light contact.

When to see a doctor? If a lesion bleeds repeatedly, grows, or changes in appearance, it is worth having it checked. The dermatologist is the specialist of reference, and in children the pediatric dermatologist or the pediatrician takes part; evaluating it early with a professional makes it possible to rule out other causes.
