Patient's question:
Several small brown spots have appeared under my scrotum. The doctor suspects they may be scrotal keratotic angiomas. I am asking experts: What is the cause of this condition? How is it treated? What are its potential hazards? Please only answer if you are an expert. Thank you!!!Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is formed due to abnormal tissue differentiation at a specific location during the early vascular tissue differentiation stage of embryonic development. During the process of embryonic development, severe deficiencies of trace elements such as zinc, copper, calcium, and magnesium in the serum, as well as phenylalanine and tyrosine, affect the biochemical processes of pigment synthesis. This leads to an abnormal increase in the secretion of pigment by pigment cells, which is then transmitted to the epidermis through the nervous system, gradually spreading and forming plaques.External factors also play a role. For example, genetic factors, trauma, and exposure to environmental pollution during pregnancy in pregnant women, as well as adverse effects from medications, may all contribute to the formation of hemangiomas. If the hemangioma grows rapidly, early treatment is necessary. With the advancement of medical technology, curing hemangiomas is no longer a difficult task. You should maintain a positive attitude and cooperate with your doctor. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
