Can infantile hemangiomas be treated?

Patient's question:

A friend's child was a bit unwell a few days ago and went to the hospital. After the doctor's examination, it was said to be infantile hemangioma. The friend was terrified. How much suffering must such a young child endure. Can infantile hemangioma be treated? Will it have an impact on the child's future?

Doctor's answer:

A hemangioma is a benign lesion. Generally, it has little impact on human health. This child is still young. If the small hemangioma does not require special treatment, regular follow-up checks can be performed. If the hemangioma is large in size, you can take the child to the vascular department of a major hospital for treatment. After the examination is completed, symptomatic treatment can be carried out according to the doctor's advice. Daily advice is to pay close attention to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
