Suggest Treatment For Pyogenic Granuloma On Fingers

default
Posted on Wed, 18 Mar 2015
Question: My 27 year old son has a Pyogenic Granuloma on his left index finder. It started in December 2014. He has seen his PCM and he treated it with Silver Nitrate and it still looks terrible. Today his doctor said he needed to see a hand surgeon. The problem we are running into is nobody wants to seem to help because he is on Medicaid. He is a student. He is very frustrated that nobody wants to take this thing off his finger. He is in training to be a barber and it's making it very hard for him to train. Not to mention he is moving out of state to get married in 14 days. He would love to have this taken care of before his wedding. Can anyone help?
