A 17 y/o boy had a lesion above the upper lip which had been present for 6 weeks. It is not particularly painful, but does bleed when irritated. Whats diagnosis and management
This looks to be a mole which has ulcerated Sinc it is more than 6weeks it requires histopatholgical examination hence a tissue biopsy to r/o malignancy like scc till than it should be treated as simple ulcer by necrosed tissue to be debride with hemostasis and dressed with fucidin or mupirocin oint.and coverage of broadspectrumantibiotics.
? Pyogenic granuloma H/O 6 wks time period better to investigate briefly for further management
I looks like pyogenic granuloma I needs to b scrapped
Pyogenic Granuloma?
ULCERTIVE KERATOCANTHOMA ? Adv-biopsy rule out to malignancy
Granuloma
Pyogenic granuloma
Infected Molluscum Contagiosum
Pyogenic abscess
Can be Rodent Ulcer but there should be no slough.site is ideal
