Question
The baby’s chin spot was discovered to be growing a bright red mole-like thing about a month after birth. It has gradually grown and now is the size of pork. After consulting a hospital, it was said to be a hemangioma. How should it be treated? Previous treatment and effects: The tumor was flat with the skin, with several white circles around the bright red skin. What kind of assistance is needed: How should it be treated, and how should the appropriate timing for treatment be determined?
Answer
Hemangiomas are a common congenital vascular disease, with approximately 80% being congenital. Vascular tumors in the oral and maxillofacial region account for 60% of all cases, with the vast majority occurring on the facial skin, subcutaneous tissue, and mucous membranes of the mouth, such as lips, tongue, and the bottom of the mouth. Guidance: As the child grows older, surgical removal of the affected area can be considered to achieve therapeutic goals. For smaller lesions, treatment is generally effective.
