Question

What is a capillary hemangioma? How should it be treated?

Answer

A capillary hemangioma is a congenital vascular developmental anomaly, which falls under the category of hemangiomas. The exact cause is still unknown, but it may be related to genetic factors. Statistics show that about 10% of patients with hemangiomas have a family history, and higher levels of estrogen receptors can be found in hemangioma tissues, indicating that estrogen may play a certain role in the onset of hemangiomas. Therefore, the proportion of female patients is higher than that of male patients. The treatment method should be determined based on the severity of the condition and the specific situation of the patient, and it is recommended to consult a professional physician to obtain an appropriate treatment plan.
