A member asked:
How do i permanently cure myself of recurring pyogenic granuloma that has caused osteomylitis and amputation of a big toe?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pyogenic granuloma: Removal of pyogenic granuloma is indicated to alleviate bleeding, discomfort, and in your case infections. A number of malignant tumors can mimic pyogenic granuloma, making histopathologic confirmation important. Ok to ask your doc for a surgical or wound care referral. Recurrence is not so common. Sorry you had such a loss related to this.

Not possible: The pyogenic granuloma is not likely the cause of the problem but rather the consequence of a chronic open wound. Underlying systemic disease is a possible cause. All tissue removed must be carefully evaluated to help determine the cause of this chronic condition.
