Pyogenic granuloma
When I was hospitalized the second time for preterm labor back in early May, I noticed something growing on my right index finger. At first, I thought it was nothing. Then, I thought it was a blood clot. Someone told me it was a blood blister. I didn't get it checked by a dermatologist until last month: a pyogenic granuloma. The only way to get rid of it? Surgery. Great. I wouldn't have even considered surgery if it didn't hurt and bleed spontaneously (a few times on Gideon). So, I got it removed. Now, the finger is still healing. Stay tuned...the surgeon said it will take 3-4 months for me to get feeling back in my finger. Great... Well, at least it WILL come back.

you poor thing! hope it looks worse than it feels.
Hi, how did your finger heal? (I googled on granulomas and your blog came up). I got it on my thumb when I was in the last trimester with my son and got it cut off but they didn't get down to the 'root' and from the looks of it I have to go for another surgery.
