  • Title: Pyogenic granuloma following the trauma of nose-boring.
    Author: Premalatha S, Thambiah AS.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1979 Apr; 100(4):455-8. PubMed ID: 454572.
    Abstract:
    The occurrence of pyogenic granuloma following nose-boring for the wearing of ornaments is recorded. Boring of the nose is seen in 60--70% of women in our skin out-patient department and pyogenic granuloma occurs in 33% of such women. The condition is not encountered after boring of the ear lobes, and this suggests that the tissues of the alae nasi are abnormally susceptible to this reaction.
