Question
The bean-like choroidal hemangioma has been red and swollen for over a month without draining pus. How should the swelling be managed?
Answer
If the swelling is small, it may disappear on its own or remain unchanged without symptoms, and treatment may not be necessary. If the swelling increases, it may break open on its own, draining a gelatinous fluid and leaving a red papilla. The skin breakage may leave a scar. Surgical treatment is advisable. Before treatment, the cause must be understood and appropriate treatment implemented. Daily care and dietary adjustments (eating less spicy foods and more eye-friendly foods) are also important.
