What department should I register for a hemangioma?

Patient's question:

I am 56 years old. Recently, I noticed some red spots on my hands. I suspect it might be a hemangioma. So I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up. However, I would like to ask the doctor first: Which department should I register for a hemangioma?

Doctor's answer:

For general hemangiomas, registration mainly involves visiting a dermatology or surgery department at a hospital. Typically, hemangiomas are benign vascular diseases. The color will fade when pressed. Generally, if it is relatively small and mild, it can be left untreated. If it is relatively large, surgical treatment is usually required. If it is widespread, radiotherapy can also be used for treatment. It is recommended to first have a hospital examination and then receive treatment based on the condition.
