Question
A hemangioma has appeared on the neck, causing no obvious pain but affecting appearance. How should it be handled?
Answer
The treatment of hemangiomas depends on their severity. If the hemangioma is not large, treatment may not be necessary. Treatment plans should consider the type, location, and age of the patient. Current treatment methods include surgical removal, radiation therapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and sclerosing agent injection. For hemangiomas with a diameter less than 1 centimeter, temporary observation may be considered. Some cases may resolve spontaneously. If the hemangioma grows rapidly, timely surgical removal should be considered.
