Pyogenic granulomas are usually solitary raised "juicy appearing" red skin bumps. They bleed easily due to the large number of blood vessels at the site. These growths are noncancerous (benign) and typically form as a result of an injury.
Typical Symptoms of Pyogenic Granuloma
- Bumps containing pus
- Sores or ulcers of the skin
Diagnostic Questions for Pyogenic Granuloma
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have pus-filled bumps on your skin?
- Do you have skin sores?
Treatment of Pyogenic Granuloma
For pyogenic granulomas in non-visible areas, for adults and children who can tolerate local anesthesia, surgical removal is generally suggested. However, if these growths are in visible areas, a less invasive removal like a small shaving or laser therapy is preferred.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
