Question

What should be done to treat a newborn diagnosed with infant mixed superficial vascular malformation?

Answer

The primary consideration for treating infant mixed superficial vascular malformations is laser therapy. Given the child’s young age, it is recommended to temporarily avoid treatment and instead undergo regular check-ups to observe any growth in the condition, as the situation may change with age. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary. For smaller vascular malformations, laser therapy can be employed. In the future, attention should also be given to skin care to prevent recurrence of the disease.
