To remove a pyogenic granuloma, it's best to consult a healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist, who can evaluate the lesion. Treatment options may include excisional surgery, where the granuloma is cut out, or other methods like laser therapy or cauterization. After removal, proper aftercare is essential to promote healing and prevent recurrence. It's important not to attempt removal at home to avoid complications or infection.
