What is the recommended treatment for pyogenic granulomas?*Surgical removalAntibiotic treatmentIntralesional chemotherapyObservation only

The recommended treatment for pyogenic granulomas is typically surgical removal. This is because pyogenic granulomas are benign, vascular lesions that can grow rapidly and may bleed profusely.

Here are the steps for the treatment:

1. Diagnosis: The first step is to diagnose the condition. This is usually done by a dermatologist who will examine the skin growth. In some cases, a biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.

2. Surgical Removal: Once diagnosed, the most common treatment is surgical removal. This can be done through a variety of methods including simple surgical excision, shave excision, or laser surgery. The choice of method depends on the size and location of the granuloma.

3. Post-Surgery Care: After the surgery, it's important to take care of the wound to prevent infection and promote healing. This may involve cleaning the wound with mild soap and water, applying an antibiotic ointment, and covering it with a bandage.

4. Follow-Up: A follow-up visit with the dermatologist is usually scheduled to ensure the wound is healing properly and the granuloma has not returned.

While antibiotics and intralesional chemotherapy are treatments for some skin conditions, they are not typically used for pyogenic granulomas. Observation only may be an option if the granuloma is small, not causing any symptoms, and not in an area of cosmetic concern. However, because of the risk of bleeding and the potential for growth, treatment is usually recommended.
