Oral propranolol and topical timolol in the treatment of post ‐burn pyogenic granuloma: Two cases and a review of the literature

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is an uncommon complication of burned skin; most treatments are supportive or invasive. In our study, using beta-blockers, oral and topical form, to treat post-burn PG as a type of hemangioma were effective and safe. AbstractTwo cases of pyogenic granulomas in burned skin were presented, a 17-month-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, being given oral propranolol and topical timolol. Both cases showed lesions improvement with no adverse effects, suggesting that beta-blocker therapy may have a positive impact on the treatment of pyogenic granuloma after burns.
