Which Department Should Hemangiomas Be Consulted For?

Question

I am 56 years old and recently noticed red spots on my hand, suspecting them to be hemangiomas. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. Which department should I consult for hemangiomas?

Answer

For general hemangiomas, it is usually advisable to visit the dermatology or surgery department of the hospital. Hemangiomas are a type of benign vascular disease whose color fades when pressed. If the hemangioma is relatively small and minor, treatment may not be necessary. If it is larger, surgical treatment is usually recommended; if it is very extensive, radiation therapy can also be considered. It is suggested to first go to the hospital for a check-up and then proceed with treatment based on the condition.
