Question
A friend’s child recently sought medical attention due to discomfort and was diagnosed with an infant hemangioma. The parents are concerned and want to know if infant hemangiomas can be treated, and whether it will affect the child’s future.
Answer
Hemangiomas are a benign condition that usually has little impact on overall health. For young children, if the hemangioma is small in size, it may not require special treatment, but regular check-ups are recommended. If the hemangioma is larger, it is advisable to bring the child to a vascular department in a large hospital for professional treatment. The treatment plan should be based on the doctor’s advice. In daily life, attention should be paid to the child’s rest and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided.
