Patient's question:
The position of the child in the human race began to show signs of growth like bright red moles after half a month of birth. It gradually grew and is now the size of pork. The hospital consultation suggested it was a hemangioma. How should it be treated?Past treatment history and effectiveness: It is flat with the skin, with a few slightly pale rings around the bright red area, becoming more noticeable when crying.
Desired assistance: How should it be treated, and how should the appropriate treatment timing be determined?
Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is a common congenital vascular disease, with approximately 80% being congenital. The incidence of hemangiomas in the oral and maxillofacial region accounts for 60% of all cases, with the majority recurring in the facial skin, subcutaneous tissue, and oral mucosa, such as the lips, tongue, and floor of the mouth.Recommendation: When the child is older, surgical excision of the lesion can be performed to achieve the treatment goal. This method is effective for small and superficial lesions.
