CONJUNCTIVA PYOGENIC GRANULOMA

Conjunctival pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular proliferative growth, found on the conjunctiva. They appear as red or purple mass on the conjunctiva surface.

This condition is usually associated with trauma and surgery or even irritation.

The term pyogenic is oftentimes misleading as conjunctiva pyogenic granuloma is never as a result of infection, neither is it infectious. This condition is usually mistaken for hordeolum or chalazion

It can be treated with topical steroids and topical beta blockers. It can also be excised.

EYE NEVI OR EYE FRECKLES

Eye nevi or freckles is a harmless pigmented growth found on the surface of the eye ball.

A nevi is a cluster of melanin producing melanocytes. Normally they are harmless but they can eventually grow to become a cancer, if not watched.
