What is a characteristic of Pyogenic granuloma?

Pyogenic granuloma is characterized by severe inflammation that leads to the development of a raised, red, and often bleed-prone tissue growth. This condition typically arises from an overreaction of the tissues to irritation, trauma, or infection and manifests as a benign vascular lesion. The inflammation is due to the proliferation of capillaries, which creates the characteristic red appearance.

The nature of Pyogenic granulomas makes them inflammatory lesions rather than infectious or viral, distinguishing them from other forms of growth or condition that may cause tissue changes. Understanding this characteristic helps in recognizing Pyogenic granuloma during clinical evaluations, enabling appropriate treatment and management.

While pitting of the nails is associated with other nail conditions such as psoriasis, and the term "aseptic" does not accurately describe Pyogenic granuloma due to its inflammatory nature, it's vital to note that it does not fit the description of a viral infection either, as Pyogenic granulomas are not caused by viruses but rather result from vascular changes due to inflammation.
