Patient's question:
My son is one year old this year, but he has a red lump on his arm. The doctor said it's a hemangioma. He doesn't sleep well at night and often cries. How should hemangiomas be treated best? Are there any methods that can make him more comfortable?Doctor's answer:
Hemangioma is the most common benign disease, caused by the abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in a localized area. Depending on the specific circumstances, if the number of hemangiomas is small, the size is not significant, there are no obvious clinical symptoms, and there is no abnormal liver function, no special treatment is required. Only regular observation of the condition is necessary. If the number of liver hemangiomas is large, the symptoms are numerous, surgical treatment is needed.
