What are the symptoms of a hemangioma?

Patient's question:

My child has developed a small red bump on their body, and I suspect they might have a hemangioma. What are the other symptoms of a hemangioma?

Doctor's answer:

Hemangiomas will continue to grow and bring many dangers. Difficulty speaking, difficulty swallowing food, are some symptoms of hemangiomas. The impact of hemangiomas on infants varies depending on the growth location, presenting different clinical manifestations. Superficial hemangiomas on the neck and face primarily affect appearance. Those growing in the oropharynx and hypopharynx may cause difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, snoring during sleep, and breathing difficulties. Hemangiomas in the larynx and trachea are characterized by breathing difficulties.
