Treatment: Most pyogenic granulomas resolve after shave removal and curettage with cautery of the base of the lesion.

If the pyogenic granulomas are drug induced, stopping the offending medication is sometimes effective in resolving them. However, many cases of medication-induced pyogenic granulomas require some method of surgical removal.
