Patient's question:
My daughter was born last night. She had a very large hemangioma on her face when she was born. It looked very frightening. What should I do if a newborn baby gets a hemangioma?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. Although it is a benign tumor, it is difficult to treat. If a hemangioma is present on the face, it can severely affect appearance. Moreover, as one ages, the hemangioma continues to grow. It is particularly prone to bleeding and infection. Therefore, we should promptly seek medical attention at a regular public hospital's pediatric or oncology department for a clear diagnosis. Experts should adopt laser, cryosurgery, or surgical treatment based on the patient's actual condition.
