Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular proliferation that may affect the nails. Treatment is surgical, associated to or preceded by topical therapy. Based on previous studies showing that b-blockers increase the regression of PGs,4 we verified the effectiveness of topical 1% propranolol (1% cream in occlusion) cream on periungual and subungual PGs of hand and feet in 10 patients.

Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular proliferation that may affect the nails. Treatment is surgical, associated to or preceded by topical therapy. Based on previous studies showing that b-blockers increase the regression of PGs,4 we verified the effectiveness of topical 1% propranolol (1% cream in occlusion) cream on periungual and subungual PGs of hand and feet in 10 patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
