How should pediatric leg hemangiomas be treated, and when is the appropriate time for treatment?

Patient's question:

Just found out that when pressed, it doesn't hurt or cause any discomfort, and the child feels no discomfort at all.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, before the baby turns three, eighty percent of hemangiomas will disappear on their own. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively, and treatment is not necessary for now. Perhaps the hemangioma will gradually disappear on its own. However, you should monitor it regularly. If it grows larger or if the baby shows any discomfort, seek medical attention immediately. If the hemangioma remains unchanged or shows minimal changes, even if it hasn't disappeared by the time the baby is three, further treatment is still acceptable.
