Granuloma piógeno - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Hemangioma capilar lobular

Tratamiento:

Los pequeños granulomas piógenos pueden desaparecer repentinamente. Las lesiones más grandes se tratan con cirugía, electrocauterización, congelamiento o láser.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

La mayoría de los granulomas piógenos se pueden extirpar, pero puede presentarse cicatrización después del tratamiento. Existe una buena posibilidad de que la afección reaparezca si no se ha destruido el granuloma entero durante el tratamiento.

Complicaciones:

Sangrado de la lesión
Reaparición de lesiones tratadas

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Solicite una cita con el médico si tiene una lesión de piel que sangra fácilmente o cambia de aspecto.
