PG: pyogenic granuloma INTRODUCTION Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular proliferation occurring on the skin or subcutaneous tissue and arises at the sites of trauma, infection, foreign body reactions, or delayed wound healing. Paronychia often appears in the hallux, where periungual PG is unpredictable. The current treatment options for PG consist of excision, cryotherapy, laser, electrocautery, and topical or oral medical therapy. Here, we present a case of topical brimonidine tartrate eye drop application for PG on the toe after a paronychia surgery.
