What should be done about a neck angioma?

Patient's question:

A vascular tumor has grown on my neck. It doesn't cause much pain, but it does affect my appearance. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It depends on the severity of the hemangioma. If it is not large, it can be considered not to be treated. The treatment of hemangioma should consider the type, location, and age of the hemangioma. Current treatment methods include surgical resection, radiotherapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and sclerotherapy injections, etc. Generally, a comprehensive approach is adopted. For patients with a size of less than 1 cm, temporary observation can be considered. Some patients can disappear on their own. If they grow rapidly, timely surgical resection should be performed.
