Patient's question:
Hello doctor. I am 49 years old. Male. Lately, I have been feeling unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that I have a hemangioma. Others said that a topical patch can treat it. Is it effective?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is a benign tumor. It is formed by the tortuous expansion of blood vessels due to unknown reasons. Drug application is ineffective or the effect is not significant. Specific treatment methods are chosen based on the size and location of the hemangioma. Currently, effective methods for treating hemangiomas include: 1. Surgical therapy 2. Sclerotherapy 3. Carbon dioxide laser therapy 4. Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.
