The red growth bleeds easily if traumatized. The pediatrician recognizes the typical features of a pyogenic granuloma and presents various treatment options to the mother including excision with biopsy. It is clear that the child will not stay still for local anesthetic with the needle but is willing to allow the physician to use a Cryo Tweezer to freeze the pyogenic granuloma. The pediatrician places the Cryo Tweezer in liquid nitrogen and applies the device to the pyogenic granuloma. As the child is cooperative with the procedure a second freeze is performed in the same manner. On follow-up visit in 3 weeks, the pyogenic granuloma is gone. The mother is warned if there is regrowth to return for further evaluation and treatment.
