Patient's question:
The child has a large red birthmark on the chest. The doctor said it's a hemangioma. The child is only five months old. What should be done?The child had eczema shortly after birth. The doctor said it might be due to eating too many spicy foods during pregnancy. At first, we thought it was just a birthmark, but later heard it might be a hemangioma. When we went to the hospital, it was confirmed to be one. Now, how should it be treated? Is it serious?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering that angioma and eczema are different, and it has nothing to do with the mother's diet. Suggestions: If it is an angioma, it is generally necessary to treat it, usually with laser treatment or surgical treatment, depending on the child's condition, to choose the treatment method. This must be stopped by a dermatologist.
