Patient's question:
When I gave my child a bath recently, I noticed that the color of the child's genital area had become darker. At first, I thought it was normal and didn't pay much attention. However, a few days later, I noticed that the color of the child's genital area was getting darker, and the skin was also slightly swollen. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said the child had an external genital hemangioma.What assistance is needed: What could have caused the child to develop an external genital hemangioma? What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, a recurrent hemangioma in the scrotal area is called a scrotal hemangioma. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is known as "scrotal blood tumor" or "scrotal blood mole." It is an expansion of blood vessels on the surface of the scrotum, where blood vessels extend and gather densely, formed by residual mesodermal or vascular cells. It is a congenital disease, commonly seen in infants and young children. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital promptly.
