Question
A friend’s child just turned three months old and has developed a hemangioma on their face. How should one treat this condition?
Answer
Hemangiomas are typically benign, and for a three-month-old baby, if the hemangioma does not cause significant discomfort or aesthetic disturbance, it is generally recommended to first observe. If the hemangioma affects the baby’s appearance, surgery to remove it can be considered at an appropriate age, but it is usually suggested to wait until the child is over one year old. Currently, since the baby is still quite young, it is recommended to continue observation and seek professional medical assistance as needed. Choosing a reputable hospital for consultation will help obtain more suitable medical advice and treatment options.
