Question

I have a hemangioma on the back of my hand. What should I do to treat it? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?

Answer

It is recommended that patients seek treatment at a hospital with a nuclear medicine clinic as soon as possible. The preferred treatment method is radiation therapy, which is painless, convenient, and more cost-effective, avoiding the pain and scars that surgery may cause, and reducing financial burden. For example, a 40-day-old baby girl is undergoing this type of treatment for a hemangioma on her neck. If the condition of the hemangioma is not severe, it can be observed initially.
