Question
Dear doctor! Since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve been extremely cautious, not daring to eat anything carelessly, but the child I gave birth to still has a hemangioma on their face. What are the causes of hemangiomas?
Answer
Hemangiomas are mainly benign tumors caused by congenital cell proliferation or benign vascular malformations. Of course, some hemangiomas are also caused by external factors. It is recommended for the family members of the patient to diagnose the condition and etiology of the affected child for timely follow-up treatment. If the hemangioma on the baby’s body is small, there is a possibility of spontaneous healing. It is still recommended to observe the child’s condition for now, and seek medical treatment when necessary.
