Question
Dear doctor, I am 49 years old and male. Lately, I’ve been feeling unwell and went to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with a hemangioma. I’ve heard that a medication patch can cure it. Is it effective?
Answer
Hemangiomas are benign tumors formed by the abnormal expansion of blood vessels due to unknown reasons. Medication application is ineffective or shows minimal therapeutic effect. The choice of treatment method depends on the size and location of the hemangioma. Currently, effective treatments for hemangiomas include surgical treatment, sclerotherapy, carbon dioxide laser therapy, and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.
