Treatment of a Large Nail-Bed Pyogenic Granuloma with Topical Timolol.

Nail pyogenic granulomas are common benign vascular lesions often occurring after trauma. A variety of treatment modalities exist, including topical therapies and surgical excision, although both have their pros and cons. In this communication, we describe the case of a 7-year-old boy with repeated toe trauma, who developed a large nail bed pyogenic granuloma after undergoing surgical debridement and nail bed repair. He was treated with 3 months of topical 0.5% timolol maleate, resulting in complete resolution of the pyogenic granuloma and minimal nail deformity.
