Patient's question:
My baby is six months old. Shortly after birth, a small hemangioma the size of a small mother's fingernail was discovered on the top of his head. I would like to know if it has any impact, whether surgery is necessary, and what is the best time for surgery.Doctor's answer:
Generally, treatment is preferably performed when the tumor is smaller. If it grows larger, it becomes more troublesome to treat. This depends on factors such as depth, size, and area, as well as the local development of medical techniques. This recommendation is to consult the plastic surgery or dermatology department. Treatment options include laser or surgical procedures. It is advised that you wait and see. If it gradually grows and is prone to rupture, surgical excision will be necessary. Both laser treatment and conventional surgery are viable options.
