Question
My baby is only two months old. There are vascular growths on her body that are purple in color, with some red ones as well. We took her to the hospital and were told she has a hemangioma. How could such a small child have this? It’s heartbreaking to see. So, I would like to ask what are the treatment methods for infant hemangiomas?
Answer
Hemangiomas are benign lesions, not true tumors. Small hemangiomas do not require special treatment. Moreover, the baby is still young. If the size of the hemangioma is relatively small, it can be regularly monitored. If the size of the hemangioma gradually increases or is relatively large, surgical treatment may be needed. Then, you can seek treatment in the Vascular Department of a top-grade hospital according to the doctor’s advice. Pay close attention to the child’s nursing condition after the operation.
