Patient's question:
My baby is only two months old now, and there are some blood vessels growing on her body. They are purple and some are red. When I took her to the hospital, they said it was a hemangioma. How could such a small child have this? It makes me so heartbroken. So, I want to ask what are the treatment methods for infant hemangiomas??Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is a benign lesion, not a true tumor. Small hemangiomas do not require special treatment, and since the infant is still young, if the size of the hemangioma is relatively small, follow-up examinations can be scheduled regularly. If the size of the hemangioma gradually increases or is relatively large, surgical treatment is necessary. Then, you can consult with your doctor and seek treatment at a Grade 3A hospital's hematology department. After surgery, it is essential to pay close attention to the child's postoperative care.
