    GlossaryPyogenic Granuloma

    small, red, bleeding skin growth often following minor trauma

    A Pyogenic Granuloma, also known as a Lobular Capillary Hemangioma, is a small, red, and often bleeding growth on the skin or mucous membranes. It typically appears after minor trauma or irritation and is composed of an overgrowth of blood vessels. While benign and non-cancerous, it can be bothersome due to its tendency to bleed easily and may require medical treatment for removal.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
