Pressure Therapy for Pyogenic Granuloma

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor, with a tendency to bleed on manipulation. A young female presented to us with a disfiguring facial pyogenic granuloma. We adopted a novel approach using pressure therapy to treat the same. The use of an elastic adhesive bandage reduced the size and vasc...

Sumario:Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor, with a tendency to bleed on manipulation. A young female presented to us with a disfiguring facial pyogenic granuloma. We adopted a novel approach using pressure therapy to treat the same. The use of an elastic adhesive bandage reduced the size and vascularity of the lesion, following which laser ablation was done with minimal bleeding and scarring. This is a simple, inexpensive method to approach large and disfiguring pyogenic granulomas.
