Question
What are the dangers of infant hemangiomas? Recently, my baby has been diagnosed with a hemangioma, and as a mother, I am very concerned.
Answer
Hemangiomas are a common condition in infants, especially in girls. Their main adverse effects include the gradual growth of the tumor, which may affect appearance and, in severe cases, can lead to secondary bleeding or infection. Additionally, the tumor may compress adjacent organs. Therefore, for patients over two years old without obvious occlusive symptoms, it is recommended to choose surgical removal or liquid nitrogen freezing as a treatment method. For your baby, if they are over two years old, surgical treatment can be considered.
