Patient's question:
At the age of 57, a woman has a millimeter-sized hemangioma on her lip, which has been there for over a month. She wants to know if surgery is still necessary in this case. Currently, she feels that the hemangioma is gradually getting bigger. What should she do?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma on the lip is a benign tumor. If the hemangioma is relatively small and grows slowly, most cases do not require treatment. However, if the hemangioma grows relatively quickly, it can affect appearance and is prone to rupture in the lip area. In such cases, cryotherapy or laser treatment can be used. If necessary, surgical excision may be performed. The recovery effect after surgery is generally quite good. After the surgery, it is important to pay attention to rest and maintain a light diet.
