Question

Is it suitable to use acupuncture treatment for a child with a hemangioma?

Answer

There are indeed injection treatment methods for hemangiomas, but this method has unpredictability and may leave scars. Dermatological laser treatment has limited depth, which may cause skin damage and increase the risk of infection and adhesion. Generally, the treatment plan should be considered comprehensively based on age and lesion location. The timing of treatment should be early rather than late; if the hemangioma grows rapidly, timely consideration of surgical treatment is recommended. Many infants can also heal naturally without treatment. It is recommended to go to a regular dermatology department for diagnosis to determine the most suitable treatment method.
