Question
My child is only 2 years old and has developed a hemangioma. Can pediatric hemangiomas be treated with injections?
Answer
Pediatric hemangiomas can be treated with injections, but injection therapy is unpredictable and may leave scars. Skin laser treatment has limited depth, which may damage the skin and lead to infection causing adhesions. Generally, comprehensive treatment should be based on age and location. Early treatment is better. In cases where growth is rapid, timely surgical treatment should be considered. Many infants and young children can recover without treatment. It is recommended to consult a dermatology department in a regular hospital to clearly determine the treatment method.
