Granulomatous hemangioma

Granulomatous hemangioma generally refers to capillary proliferative granuloma, which has no obvious symptoms and can affect people of any age. Although granulomatous hemangioma will stop growing after reaching a certain size, it will not disappear on its own. The treatment of granulomatous hemangioma is not very complicated. The key is to understand the situation, treat it symptomatically, and take preventive measures in daily life.

Capillary hyperplastic granuloma, also known as purulent granuloma, is caused by the invasion of purulent bacteria into the skin wound after the skin is damaged, causing an inflammatory granulomatous reaction and excessive proliferation of granulation tissue, eventually forming hemangioma-like or papillary-like lesions. Some information also suggests that this disease is not related to infection.

Clinical manifestations

The basic lesions are round or slightly flat papillary granulomas ranging in size from mung beans to cherries. The surface is smooth and light red or dark red, soft and elastic, easy to bleed when touched, with no subjective symptoms. Occasionally, there will be ulceration and erosion, exuding a small amount of smelly pus, which will form dirty brown pus scabs after drying. Can occur at any age. The damage is often single, but may also occur in several places at the same time. It often occurs on parts of the body that are easily injured, such as fingers, arms, and small wounds on the head and face. It is also common in the umbilicus of infants and occasionally in the oral mucosa. After a slow process, the granulation tissue grows to a certain extent and then stops developing, and is generally difficult to disappear on its own.

treat

Apply with a silver nitrate stick and then apply a pressure bandage, or surgically remove it. Antibiotic ointment can be applied topically. For treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, black cloth detoxifying ointment can be used externally and Xiaochuangyin can be taken internally.

prevention

1. Carry out extensive publicity and education on the prevention and treatment of purulent skin diseases in units prone to pyoderma (such as some factories, agricultural machinery stations, primary schools, etc.), conduct preventive examinations regularly, and eliminate all pathogenic factors as much as possible.

2. Pay attention to skin hygiene, strengthen physical exercise and enhance skin resistance.

3. Maintain the integrity of skin function. Skin diseases, especially itchy skin diseases, should be treated promptly and reasonably. Prevent and treat skin damage and avoid irritation such as scratching and skin friction.

4. It is prohibited to share clothes, hats, towels, washbasins, etc. to prevent contact transmission, and patients should be properly isolated. Dressings and contact materials used by the patient must be strictly disinfected or incinerated. During the illness, except for using medicine to clean the skin lesions, it is forbidden to wash the affected area with tap water to prevent the spread of the disease.

5. Avoid drinking alcohol or eating spicy food when the disease occurs. Eat less greasy food.
