Table Salt Method Following Cryotherapy for Recurrent Pyogenic Granuloma on the Fingertip

Pyogenic granulomas (PGs) are rapidly growing benign vascular lesions that often become ulcerated, bleed, and recur after standard surgical or laser treatments. This article highlights a simple noninvasive technique for treating recurrent PGs using cryotherapy followed by daily application of table salt under occlusion for 2 weeks. Topical application of table salt is an inexpensive and largely pain-free option for patients who are not candidates for or opt out of surgery.
