Patient's question:
When I gave my child a bath recently, I noticed that the color of their 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 was getting darker and the skin was slightly swollen. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said my child had an external genital hemangioma.What assistance is needed: What could have caused my child to develop an external genital hemangioma? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, if a vascular tumor recurs in the scrotal area, it is called a scrotal hemangioma. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, scrotal hemangioma 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 in a chaotic manner, formed by residual mesodermal or vascular cells. It is a congenital disease, most commonly seen in infants and young children. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital promptly.
