Pyogenic Granulomas:
- The word ‘Pyogenic’ means ‘infection’ but this is not accurate because there is no infection in a pyogenic granuloma
- ‘Granuloma’ means a type of inflammation, but this type of inflammation is not present in a pyogenic granuloma either
- The name is totally inaccurate and a little bit confusing!
- May start as an insect bite, or a minor skin injury
- Are more common in children and pregnant women
- Are most common on the tips of fingers, lips and face
- Are not cancerous
- Are not contagious
- Bleed very easily if they are nicked or scratched
- The bleeding from a pyogenic granuloma is not dangerous, but can be a significant nuisance

- Sometimes pyogenic granulomas will spontaneously disappear
- It may take weeks or months for this to happen
- Surgical Removal:
- Local anaesthetic is injected with a tiny needle next to the pyogenic granuloma
- The spot is then removed and then electrocautery is used to control any bleeding and to destroy the “roots” of the growth
- A small amount of antibiotic cream should be applied to the treated area daily until it is healed, for about 2 weeks
- Change the bandage daily until the site is healed
- It is safe to bathe, shower or swim after the treatment
- After the procedure, there will be a crust or scab
- This will heal and leave a pink mark that will gradually fade
- After the removal, there may be a residual white mark
- There is a small chance that the pyogenic granuloma could grow back
- There is no cream at this time that will remove pyogenic granulomas, and there is no way to prevent them from developing
- Removal of benign (non-cancerous) lesions such as pyogenic granulomas is not covered by OHIP or private health insurance
- A referral from a doctor is necessary to make your first appointment
