Has anyone seen this before? 🤢

[decafisnotthesame]

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? It’s on my 5 year olds toe. It started as a black mark that we thought was a verruca and have been applying bazuka gel.
It has got bigger and bigger so went to the GP today who didn’t know what it was and has referred us to dermatology.
I just wondered if anyone had any ideas?
TIA

Just to add…he yelps if we even so much as try and touch it but it doesn’t bother him with shoes on or walking etc. Seems very firmly attached to his toe.

Yes, I think it looks like a pyogenic granuloma

That’s not a pyogenic granuloma - they’re redder and not as raised.

Looks like a tic - is that possible?

I thought a tic too - has he been walking in grass recently?

I don't know if the picture will attach, but google
heloma durum horn. It looks and sounds very much like what you're describing.
