What is the definition or description of: pyogenic granuloma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal healing: This is a benign condition usually caused by trauma where the skin heals abnormally with blood vessels instead of scar tissue. Often, it is a minor injury and not even remembered. It is a hassle and best removed by a dermatologist. More common in children and pregnant women and certain medications.
