Pyogenic granuloma

An inflamed papule (small superficial bump on the skin) that bleeds easily. Pyogenic granulomas often appear at the site of an injury or irritation but can also occur as a complication of a port-wine stain. They are most common on the face, arms, and hands and are seen most frequently in children and in pregnant women. Lesions tend to persist without treatment and must be removed using cauterization, surgery, or laser. To prevent recurrence, it is important to eliminate the entire lesion.


Severe inflammation of the nail in which a lump of red tissue grows up from the nail bed to the nail plate.


A frequent benign skin growth that emerges on exposed regions following minor injuries. Surgical removal, electrocautery, or cryosurgery are methods used to eliminate the tumor.
