Patient's question:
I have had a large, bright red patch on my leg since I was a child. It is slightly raised above the skin surface, with clear boundaries, and an irregular shape. Sometimes, when I press the patch with my fingers, the color fades a bit; without pressure, the color returns to normal. Doctor, is there any way to treat hemangiomas?Doctor's answer:
Conservative treatment for hemangiomas is generally ineffective and surgical treatment is required. If the hemangioma is small, surgical treatment is usually not necessary, and it will not significantly affect human health. Regular follow-up is sufficient. If the hemangioma is relatively large, seek treatment at a major hospital's vascular department. Through surgical treatment, the safety coefficient is relatively high, and postoperative recovery is better. Pay attention to rest, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
