Patient's question:
A vascular tumor appeared on my finger, starting as a small red dot at birth. I initially thought it was a birthmark, but it grew larger over time and protruded above the skin surface. Today, I took my child for acupuncture, and the doctor identified it as a vascular tumor, advising against touching that area frequently. Is this condition serious? What should I do? Care...Doctor's answer:
It can essentially be divided into two types: one is vascular malformation (hamartoma) caused by abnormal vascular growth during embryonic development, such as excessive growth or abnormal division of blood vessels. The other is a true tumor resulting from abnormal cell division of vascular endothelial cells.Treatment can be implemented after the child is one month old. Generally, a comprehensive evaluation approach is adopted. For infantile hemangiomas, careful observation should be conducted. If the expansion is rapid, timely intervention should be provided.
