Definition of Pyogenic granuloma:
Pyogenic granulomas are small, reddish bumps on the skin that bleed easily due to an abnormally high concentration of blood vessels. These lesions often appear at sites of previous trauma.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
The exact cause of pyogenic granulomas is unknown, but they frequently appear following injury. They often occur on the hands and arms or face.
Because these lesions bleed easily, they can be quite annoying. Pyogenic granulomas are common in children.
