Silver Nitrate is all I ever use on granulations. Usually only required once, but repeat aplications may be necessary. Very easy and effective. This cystic structure you mentioned - where does it lie - is it all in the vagina or in the vulva subcutaneous under labial skin, or in the inguinal canal. Is it perhaps a Bartholin's?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
