Hemangioma of the right lower jaw of a child (see attached figure)

Patient's question:

A female baby born in May 2014, discovered a suspected nail scratch mark on her chin (see attached image) one week after birth. Later, it was found that the mark did not fade but instead expanded. As a result, she visited Shanghai Children's Hospital twice in June, July, August, and October (dates: July 25: lesion size and depth 17.36.313.1, October 17: 22.19.717.4) and Shanghai Pediatric Hospital twice in June and August (dates: June 20: 15.97.612.2, August 13: 178.513). External topical creams were used, including "① Multisulfonic Acid Heparin Mucopolysaccharide Cream," "② Yiting Cream," and "③"

Doctor's answer:

Hello; A tumor that originates from vascular tissue is called a hemangioma. Superficial hemangiomas on the skin are usually visible as red spots or small macules on the skin, which gradually grow, darken in color, and become elevated.
Advice: Currently, surgery or high-frequency electrodes can be used to completely cure it. High-frequency electrodes are a purely physical treatment method that has no impact on growth and development, and it will not recur after treatment. Wishing you good health.
