Patient's question:
My friend's son has a pimple growing on his buttocks, which feels hard when touched. After examination, the doctor said it's a hemangioma and needs to be removed. Is this serious? Will it recur after removal? I want to ask, what is a pediatric hemangioma like?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is one of the most common benign skin tumors. You require surgical excision or other treatments. This mainly depends on the size of the hemangioma and the specific circumstances. It is recommended that patients visit the hemangioma department or dermatology department of a higher-level, regular hospital. Please first look at the actual condition of the affected area. If the hemangioma is relatively small, medication treatment can be considered. If medication treatment is not available or the effect of medication treatment is not ideal, you can also consider laser or surgical treatment.
