How should redness on the skin surface be treated?

Patient's question:

Capillary malformation caused redness on the surface of the facial skin, which fades upon pressing, and darkens during crying and after taking hot showers.
It was present at birth, not very large in area, the child is just 20 days old, and has not been seen by a doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the description, it might be a small hemangioma. It can be removed using laser, and it won't leave a scar. This is a capillary hemangioma. It is recommended to seek medical treatment at the pediatric surgery department of a hospital. Do not scratch this area deliberately, as any skin breakage can easily lead to bleeding. Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so they are more prone to vascular malformations. For parents, do not panic. It is important to take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
