My Pyogenic Granuloma No More...

This afternoon, I finally had my pyogenic granuloma removed at the National Skin Centre. Click here to read one of my earlier blog about it.

Try to snap some photos while waiting for the doctor and nurses :)

I was actually quite nervous before going to the surgery and was glad that my hubby took half day leave to accompany me. The whole process took about 10 minutes to complete. The doctor who did the surgery told me that it will not be painful and the only pain I have will be from the anesthetic needle. And guess what, when the needle poked onto my skin and during the shaving biopsy I feel no pain at all :) phew! Maybe my skin is thicker than i think.

Picture of my pyogenic granuloma (in the bottle) to be sent for biopsy and some cleansing solution and ointment to apply.

The total bill was $149.60 but i only paid $61.10 with a government grant of $88.50. I was given a day MC and will be going back for a review in 2 weeks times.

Ya, hope that it will not re-grow. Don't like the feeling of going into the operation room :(
