Question
My daughter was born last night, and she had a large hemangioma on her face at birth, which looks very frightening. What should I do if a newborn has a hemangioma?
Answer
Hemangiomas are caused by congenital development and, although they are benign tumors, they are difficult to treat. Facial hemangiomas can severely affect appearance and grow larger with age. They are prone to bleeding and infection, so it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The doctor will decide on the appropriate treatment, which may include laser therapy, cryosurgery, or surgical intervention.
