Question
I have a friend who is 33 years old this year, and I’m not sure what happened. He’s been feeling unwell lately. I accompanied him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said he has a capillary hemangioma. I want to ask the doctor what is the best treatment method for capillary hemangioma?
Answer
Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that grow from capillaries. They are more common on the head and face. They appear as dark red or subcutaneous light blue spots. If the hemangioma is large, surgical removal may be an option. For smaller hemangiomas, laser or cryotherapy can also be considered. These treatments usually do not cause significant discomfort. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a consultation and examination to determine the specific condition of the hemangioma before deciding on a treatment plan.
