Patient's question:
Taking children for a physical examination, it was found that there is a hemangioma. What should be done if children have hemangiomas? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Some infantile hemangiomas disappear as the child grows older. Hemangiomas are congenital benign tumors or vascular malformations and are more common at birth or shortly after birth. Infants and young children may not need treatment temporarily, and some will disappear as they grow. If they do not disappear, options include surgery, laser treatment, or cryotherapy. Maintain a light diet, add complementary foods reasonably, pay attention to cleaning the affected area, do not touch intentionally, pay attention to observation, and if the hemangioma area enlarges, seek hospitalization for surgery in a timely manner.
