Question
My newborn is 40 days old and has a rash on their hand. The doctor diagnosed it as a capillary hemangioma. I would like to know at what age a newborn can undergo treatment? Does this condition have any impact on the baby?
Answer
Generally, as the baby grows and develops, some hemangiomas may disappear on their own. Therefore, it is recommended to first observe the condition. However, if the hemangioma grows rapidly in a short period of time, laser treatment may need to be considered. For very young children, close observation of their changes is crucial to help with timely intervention and treatment.
