Pyogenic Granulomas (also called Lobular Capillary Hemangiomas) are benign lesions composed of blood vessels that I frequently encounter in both my The Woodlands dermatology and Conroe dermatology offices. Clinically, a Pyogenic Granuloma is a red/purple nodule that grows rapidly and bleeds with incidental trauma. Pyogenic Granulomas occur at any age and are very common during pregnancy. Treatment involves a shave removal underneath the lesion and an electrocautery device is used to destroy the blood vessels that are supplying the Pyogenic Granuloma.
