Patient's question:
There is a hemangioma on my finger, which started as a small red dot at birth. At first, I thought it was a birthmark, but it grew larger over time and elevated above the skin surface. Today, I took my child for acupuncture, and the doctor said it was a hemangioma, advising not to touch that area frequently. Is this condition serious? What should I do? Caring...Doctor's answer:
It can essentially be divided into two types: one is vascular malformation (hamartoma) caused by abnormal vascular development during embryonic growth and development, such as excessive vascular growth or abnormal division; 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 therapy is adopted. For infantile hemangiomas, careful observation should be conducted, and timely intervention treatment should be provided if expansion occurs rapidly. The above suggestions are for the question "There is a vascular tumor on the of the child, what is the exact treatment method?" It is hoped to assist you, and wish you good health!
