Question
My baby is six months old and has a small hemangioma on the top of her head. Does it have any impact? Do I need surgery? When is the best time for surgery?
Answer
Generally speaking, if the hemangioma is small, the earlier the treatment, the better. If the hemangioma grows larger with time, treatment can become more complicated. The decision should be based on the depth, size, and area of the hemangioma, as well as the local technical conditions. It is recommended to consult with a plastic surgery or dermatology department. Laser or surgical treatment can be considered. You can observe it for a while first. If the hemangioma gradually increases in size and is prone to rupture, you may need to consider surgical removal or laser treatment.
