Patient's question:
My baby has a few red spots on the right side of his forehead. At first, they looked like pimples. A few days later, they got bigger. It seems like there's some liquid inside, making them puffy. I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed it as a hemangioma. What are facial hemangiomas?Doctor's answer:
First. Some bad habits during pregnancy can lead to many hemangiomas being congenital. They are present from birth. This is usually because the mother did not pay attention to protecting the child during pregnancy. For example, smoking, drinking alcohol, and sitting in front of a computer for long periods exposed to radiation. Second. Mechanical damage leads to hematopoietic stem cells generally being stimulated by external factors during early childhood, infancy, or even the embryonic stage, causing mutations and the formation of tumor cells. Finally. Hemangiomas are injured and infected with a virus. This situation is very rare but can occur. It is usually because the skin is broken, and then the virus enters the blood vessels, leading to the mutation of blood cells and ultimately resulting in hemangiomas.
