A member asked:
I'm pretty sure i have a granuloma on bottom of toe, er cauterized but busted back open 4 days later, what else can be done?

Cold...Cut....: It's not clear as to type of granuloma you have had cauterized. Most likely it is a pyogenic granuloma. These can be treated initially by cauterization. Another acceptable way of treating is with cryotherapy(cold). I prefer to remove all doubt and cut it out. A few sutures later, and you're out the door.
