Question
A four-month-old girl has small hemangiomas on the inside and outside of her upper lip, and a hemangioma about the size of a thumb cover on her back, which was present at birth. The family hopes to find a more comfortable treatment method to reduce the child’s pain during the treatment process.
Answer
It is recommended to seek evaluation from a vascular surgery specialist. Firstly, a detailed examination of the hemangioma should be conducted, and based on the diagnosis, consider using laser surgery treatment. Laser surgery can effectively treat hemangiomas, but postoperative care should be taken to avoid infection and properly care for the wound. In addition, dietary adjustments are also an essential aspect of the treatment process. Apart from laser surgery, cryotherapy is also a common and effective treatment option.
