Pyogenic granuloma following treatment of verruca vulgaris with cryotherapy and Duoplant.
We report an unusual case of pyogenic granuloma that appeared after the application of liquid nitrogen and 27 percent salicylic acid (Duoplant, Stiefel Inc.) to a verruca vulgaris. Only two cases of pyogenic granuloma following cryotherapy appear in the literature and pyogenic granuloma as a complication of salicylic acid application has not been documented.
