Differential DiagnosisHistory:
An 18-year old male presented with this vascular nodule with an easily bleeding tendecy and surrounded by an epidermal collarette. The aims of treatment of Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) are:
1. Total removal
2. Prevent recurrence
3. Good cosmetic outcome (avoid or minimize scarring)
So you can treat by any mean that fulfills these three aims. Personal preference and experience might govern your therapeutic option among surgical removal, curettage and/ or electrocautery, cryosurgey, lasers, intralesional injections of sclerosing agents and more conservative treatment with table salt therapy!
