Abstract We present three patients with agminated pyogenic granulomas who experienced significant decrease in size and bleeding with treatment with topical timolol solution with minimal side effects. One patient had complete clinical resolution. For patients with agminated pyogenic granuloma who may otherwise have limited treatment options, timolol is an effective potential solution.
