Question
My second child is about four months old now, but recently I’ve noticed that they’ve been a bit fussy, and then I discovered their eyes are a bit swollen, with some blood vessels visible. Could this be a sign of hemangiomas? So I want to know, can you get hemangiomas around the eyes? How can they be prevented?
Answer
Dear friend, it’s unlikely that the child’s eye swelling and visible blood vessels are signs of hemangiomas. Eye swelling can be seen in conditions like eyelid inflammation and chalazion, which are often related to poor hygiene and bacterial infection, leading to redness and swelling in the eyelid area. It’s necessary to have a detailed examination at the hospital. If it’s eyelid inflammation, appropriate treatment with ointment may be required.
