Patient's question:
What is the best time for treating infantile capillary hemangiomas? When the baby was just born, I noticed a small red spot on her neck, which was soft. At first, I thought it might be a birthmark, but it grew larger later. Whenever I touched it, the baby would cry nonstop. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it was a capillary hemangioma. How large does it need to be before surgery can be performed?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the best treatment time for infantile capillary hemangiomas is usually when the child is two years old. If the treatment is too early, the child's physical condition may be too poor, and the body may not be able to tolerate it. In the past, it has not been very good, and it can have a certain impact on the child's physical and mental health. For different parts and recurrence factors, the treatment methods may vary. Never blindly treat this issue; it is essential to find a good hospital and an experienced doctor.
