P Pyogenic Granulomas
Pyogenic granuloma is a relatively common skin growth. It is usually a small red, oozing and bleeding bump. It grows rapidly over a period of a few weeks to an average size of a half an inch. It is always a benign growth. Still, as a precaution, a sample is usually obtained for biopsy analysis. This is particularly important since as many as half of treated cases will recur (grow back) and need a second treatment. Removal with a soft tissue laser decreases the chance of it growing back.
