We present a novel case of pyogenic granuloma occurring within a port‐wine stain in two sequential pregnancies at different sites. There was no history of precipitating events such as trauma. We discuss why a pyogenic granuloma may occur within a port‐wine stain and how pregnancy may increase the likelihood of this occurring.
