Patient's question:
I would like to ask what are the causes of infant hemangiomas? My baby is less than 100 days old now. The doctor said he might have a hemangioma. Why would such a young child have a hemangioma? How should I treat my baby?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is caused by abnormal differentiation and vascular differentiation during the embryonic period. It falls under the category of abnormal vascular development. It is not a true tumor. It is considered a congenital disease. If diagnosed as a hemangioma, the location is not important. Treatment is not necessary. Monitoring is sufficient. If the location is relatively important, surgical treatment should be considered. The effectiveness of drug treatment for hemangiomas is poor.
