Abstract

Pyogenic granulomas (PGs) are rapidly growing benign vascular lesions that often become ulcerated, bleed, and recur after standard surgical or laser treatments. This article highlights a simple noninvasive technique for treating recurrent PGs using cryotherapy followed by daily application of table salt under occlusion for 2 weeks. Topical application of table salt is an inexpensive and largely pain-free option for patients who are not candidates for or opt out of surgery.
