Suggest Treatment For Pyogenic Granuloma On The Gum

I have a pyogenic granuloma on my gum its been there for about 3 years now. I have had 2 of them before with my pregnancies. They are told to be pregnancy tumors. But with this third one i had done had my tubes tied. But anyways here a few days ago, its gotten really irritated and has gotten really loose and swollen and yucky looking. I dont have dental insurance nor do I have any money to get it removed but this is got my whole mouth sore to where I can't eat. On top of all that I have gotten 2 fever blisters on my lip. And my top and bottom gums are really red and they are hurting really bad. What should I do?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the pyogenic granuloma is concerned, it occurs commonly during pregnancy, but it can also occur secondary to deposits or any irritation.
Regarding the blisters on the lip and reddish gums, it is because of the herpes virus infection resulting in herpetic gingivostomatitis.
If i am your treating doctor, I would have suggested surgical removal of the pyogenic granuloma but it has a recurence rate of 2-3%.
For the herpes virus infection, it is a self limiting infection, but you have to get your teeth cleaned once.
Regarding your financial problem, you can get it treated in a educational institute, where they do the treatment under nominal price.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
