Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had a pimple a few weeks ago that vastly turned into a little bump that will not stop bleeding. It has been like this for about two weeks, and it is driving me mad. I am not sure what it is or what to do.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It seems that you have developed pyogenic granuloma. The best treatment for this is radiofrequency cautery. It should be done by a dermatologist only. I suggest you apply Mupirocin ointment twice daily for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take treatment with consent.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
