Pyogenic Granuloma | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What can be done to prevent the disease?

Since the cause of pyogenic granuloma is not known, prevention is difficult. Avoiding injury may decrease the risk, but that is not always possible.

What are the long-term effects of the disease?

The long-term effects of pyogenic granuloma are generally limited to annoying bleeding at the site. The lesions do not usually hurt or itch.

What are the risks to others?

Pyogenic granuloma is not contagious and poses no risk to others.
