Question
For a three-month-old baby with a hemangioma, is it appropriate to consider surgical treatment? Parents are hesitant about medication treatment and hope to receive professional medical advice.
Answer
Based on the described situation, a three-month-old baby is not suitable for hemangioma surgery. It is recommended that parents bring the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible. After confirmation of the diagnosis, if surgery is required for removal, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be used for subsequent treatment. Hemangioma is a congenital benign tumor or vascular malformation, often occurring at birth or soon after birth. Hemangiomas occurring in the oral and maxillofacial region account for 60% of all hemangiomas, most commonly found on the skin of the face, subcutaneous tissue, and mucous membranes of the mouth, with a few occurring in the jawbone or deep tissue. Hemangiomas can generally be divided into capillary hemangiomas, cavernous hemangiomas, and cavernous hemangiomas based on their clinical manifestations and histological characteristics.
