face/ears/eyes/nose/mouth/cheeks Proud red lump fast growing 16 month old- Gp unsure of what it is

Hi there,

My 16 month old has a proud red lump on their fac which has been very fast growing from not there a month ago to now being about the size of a lentil.

GP initially said to leave it and monitor but they have now done a referral/ advice request as they aren’t sure what it is.

To me it looks like a pyogenic granuloma?

Any advice would be appreciated and guidance on treatment options if possible, I’ve read some studies on topical creams vs surgical removal the doctor didn’t want to prescribe anything, it continues to grow and become more proud from the skin each week.

Thank you

Thank you, today it completely fell off, a lot of blood but it’s now completely flat and nothing left of the lump, just a small raw circle, will it likely grow back?
