Question

The child didn’t have this issue at birth, but two months later, as they grew older, a strawberry-shaped hemangioma appeared on their head. What treatment options are available?

Answer

Pediatric hemangiomas are divided into two types: one is protruding, with a surface resembling a strawberry, hence the medical term ‘strawberry hemangioma’; the other is located ‘under the real slope’, not protruding, only visible as dark red. This type of hemangioma itself does not cause any adverse effects on the body or organs, but it often grows ‘relatively quickly,’ even faster than the growth rate of the body, leading to it becoming larger and larger. Therefore, early treatment is recommended; especially when they appear on the face, more attention is needed.
