Newborn, hemangioma, when is the right time for surgery?

Patient's question:

The patient is a girl, just born two weeks ago. At birth, there was a yellow-yolk-sized lump under the skin on the left side of her waist, which was dark red.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it belongs to hemangioma. For those with a smaller area, medication can be used, and regular follow-up is recommended. If it increases significantly, laser or surgical treatment can be considered. After surgery, attention should be paid to local hygiene, and it is very important not to eat spicy and irritating foods.
